Oh..it's ON


As Hannah would say...Oh it's on sister...like soy sauce on a won ton (which she pronounces "wong tong" in the most country accent you can think of) 4th grade girls had a basketball game this morning with let's just say...another private school in North Jackson. We won (of course) 10-8. We've played them before and won 12-10. It's very disheartening when other teams have such poor sportsmanship. I guess your kids have to deal with it sooner or later. Both games of playing them really made the other teams true colors shine through...you have to wonder if it all reflects on the coach and how they are taught. You would like to think a christian school would be the last place you would see behavior in sports like that. It's truly a time when you have to pray for self control and for God to have control of your tongue! It's very hard to watch your child be pushed around, scratched and have fingers stepped on and the ref not call anything. That's just the way it goes I guess...and I'm sure it will only get worse the older she gets. Well..at least we did win...and we played fair and with good sportsmanship.
