Robin cheered at her first basketball game today. I haven’t seen her this happy in a long time. I’m so glad she found something she loves. The games themselves weren’t that awesome. The girls lost by a score of something like 38-2, and the boys lost by something like 52-13. It’s bad enough that they lost so badly, but the sportsmanship of the visiting team was very unimpressive, from the students to the parents to the players to the coaches. They were rude and disrespectful to our teams all night. The girls basketball team chanted over our cheer team every time they started a cheer and taunted the boys to miss their foul shots. When our cheerleaders did tumble passes, the other team’s girls players did their own. The parents were no better, cheering insanely with every score, even when their team was up by 40 points. It was disappointing to see, and I’m so proud of our kids who took it in stride and still left smiling. It takes a good heart to find the wins in a loss, and our kids definitely did.
