Last night was the big rival basketball game for us
We played decent, and they played very well.
They won
It was a good game, stressful, exciting, and full of dis-like for the other team. Just what a rival game ought to be, right?
HOWEVER, I am a big believer in class. Some things the other team did/shouted was pretty annoying, and actually really surprising. Although there were definitely some people on our side saying some rude things, we weren't saying those as a whole group (i'm not saying that makes things any better).
The other team did deserve to win, they played great. I just wish their fans and cheerleaders had been more respectful about it when they were ahead by 20+ points.
Oh well, the game is over :) It's now just a bunch of annoyed facebook status' (including mine) and the other team trying to say that they were booing for something else, not the people who were singing the National Anthem (although when they announce that the choir will now be singing the National Anthem and their crowd starts to 'boo', you would think it was about that. Wouldn't you? They called us classless for thinking that. Haha, that just makes me laugh).
But obviously I have no hard feelings ;)
I just hope we slam them at their place 79 to 52. We have a good team, and we can totally make that happen :D
I think you should contact the Daily Herald and offer to be their high school sports writer. You would definitely have a great readership!!
