I watched the girls LP/SpV game last night and was very disappointed. Not in how the girls played but the condition in which they competed. All 3 games were played in an annex gym on a court with 3 burnt out lights over one of the baskets, no sound system, a church quality score board, a seating area to small for the large number of fans, and my favorite - a student had to hold a toy sized flag at mid court while the national anthem was sung - btw the song was performed beautifully, she was the bright spot of the evening.
What made this situation even worse was the knowledge that, despite an unforeseen scheduling mix up, Springville HS officials couldn't muster enough leadership to move the boys JV game to the annex and allow the VARSITY girls to play earlier on the Main court. Unfortunately for Springville they lost all 3 games, not surprising given the level of non-support they appear to have. If Springville officials are going make the varsity girls play in the inferior gym at least make sure the lights work. Even your own fans were aplogizing as one of them said, "It doesn't get anymore getto than this."
