Whatever Happened to Sportsmanship?


The high school I work at isn't know for having the best sports teams, yes we are pretty good at a few sports, but in general we aren't the greatest. The region we are in the last few years have two schools that really compete in almost ever sport and the rest of the region fights for third and fourth. Of these two schools, one is great at every stinkin' sport, but you know what, they are good sports. We we play them, we know they are going to fight hard, but they are going to show you some respect. The other school, the team that usually comes in second has the worst sportsmanship in the region be far. We had problems with them in Tennis, Soccer, and tonight in football I saw them do something very cheap. Starting the third quarter of the football game tonight the score was 17-7, with them leading. They got the ball and easily scored a touchdown making in 24-7. The following kick off, with them up by 17 points, and with us not really being able to do anything, they kick an on-side kick. About half way through the third quarter we had run one play and they had scored three touchdowns. It was like they couldn't be happy with just beating us, they needed to beat us down. Next week I believe they play the best team in the region that just happens to be ranked #3 in the country, I hope they get destroyed, so they know what it is like.
