I'm sure by now everyone has heard the story about the Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 game. All today's awards are given to people associated with that game.
And the fact that everyone has heard about it is why I'm giving today's #1 Kick in the Ass Award to the press.
You know what guys? LET IT GO! Go chase some politician in bed with hookers or something and stop humiliating kids! I seen THOUSANDS of basketball games at every level and every season there's a story like this in every community. The kids just want to forget so let everyone else forget it. You are the pricks of all pricks!
The #2 Kick in the Ass goes to the coach of The Covenant School for running a full court press and shooting 3's. If you knew anything about basketball at all you would have called a time out after about 2 minutes of play and told your girls to back off. You're pathetic! Go apply for a job at a newspaper or ESPN.
I'm giving the #1 Pat on the Back Award to the coach of the losing team from Dallas Academy, for seeking reasons to praise your girls, praising them for holding the other team to 12 4th quarter points, and for being there for them. You have perspective! I don't care if you haven't won a game in over 4 season. You are the person I want to coach my kids!
The #2 Pat on the Back goes to the girls of Dallas Academy for not dwelling on the loss. Keep this attitude through life and you'll be alright!
I'm sorry but the girls of Covenant don't get an award. You're just kids playing a game and listening to adult "leaders".
