Every once in a while though, things can be good. I did boys JV game tonight at a new private christian school. This school is brand new and is only playing a JV schedule. They have a brand new gym. They played loud pre-game motivational music (not like what I hear at other schools), had an outstanding performance of the National Anthem by a parent, had signs posted all over the gym, and announced all players. Now we spend a lot of time telling players to pull their shorts up but these kids had their pants pulled up so far they almost covered the numbers. Game starts and it's 9-9 at the end of the 1st quarter. We had to tell the home team to stop playing music every time the home team scored. After a nail biting 1st quarter the game finished up 51-15 in favor of the visiting team. The visiting coach never rubbed it in but he only had six players so they kept scoring. By the end of the game all the fans were cheering for both teams and even the visiting coaches clapped when a small point guard on the home team hit a 10 foot jumper. What a great experience. Like tnroundballref, this is why I do this. At least in one small part of the South, all was well tonight, and I was glad to be a part of it.
