Fabulous Friday's

Friday nights are very exciting for us from late March until late May. Abbie plays for a travel basketball team and starts weekend games on Fridays. It is so much fun watching Abbie do what she loves best. She is an awesome player and a great team leader. Her team (The North Georgia Heat) hasn't won many games but they play clean and always play hard. We encountered one team this weekend that did not display good sportsmanship. One girl even talked back to our coach and ended up getting a technical foul as she should have. It was dumbfounding to me that her coach nor her parent reprimanded her. I'm so proud of our girls for not reacting and acting the way the other team was acting. Our girls had there hair pulled, were elbowed and pushed down and not once did they retaliate back. It was a good lesson for our girls. There are teams who play that way but that doesn't mean that that is the way we expect our team to play. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Sometimes the "Golden Rule" is hard to follow. Several parents including James and I lingered around until the other coach was coming out of the gym and we voiced our disappointment on how he coached. He walked by mumbling that we were just mad because we lost. Not the case at all! In the end our team played the best even though they lost! I couldn't be More proud!
