just amazing. this is the kinda thing we need to see more often around sports.. In most cases kids would have made both of these shots and just been happy to be in the paper.

sorry for the nba section but no where else to put it

that is class.

wow - now if only some of these 100-0 coaches would take notice

Yeah, I heard about this on the radio, and was thinking about how it would be if other coaches and/or players were like that. If I were in that same situation, I would`ve done the same, because he should not have gotten a technical for it, but you cant fault the refs for following the rules, even if they didn`t think it was right either.

LOL - Darius McNeal is the kid we were giving <Censored> to when my school played DeKalb. We like to pick one player and just give it to them all night.

My question is, why was a team from Milwaukee playing DeKalb? DeKalb isn't anywhere near Wisconsin.

Our school does that too, except we will give each player their own nickname, so we make sure everyone is given some sh*t from us. lol.

Schools like to schedule games like that sometimes. In football last season, we played Wallace HS, from Gary, IN, and we are from Michigan.

We just ripped on Darius because he was talking <Censored> to us, so we had to give it to him. Let's just say he didn't have a very good game. LOL

Haha, well than, sounds like you guys did what you wanted to. lol. One game this season in bball, we played McBain, a small little hick town that takes like 5 minutes to get to by driving from here. Well, we were doing chants to them like "Start your tractors" and "Little Sister" lol it was great.

This was very classy by McNeal, I know just about nobody from around here would do that for another team though lol.

"I did it for the guy who lost his mom," McNeal told the newspaper. "It was the right thing to do."

That is class, sorry for the kid who lost his mom though.

Yeah, we played some school, were kicking their asses, and THEY started chanting "Start your tractors!" It made absolutely no sense...

We slotered them, so it made sense in our case.

That`s kind of like when we played one of our biggest rivals, at their school, and the game was almost over and we were up by like 8 or so with seconds left, they started chanting "Trojan Football" at a Basketball game!! Apparently, they got their sports mixed up.

We always chant "Let's play football!" if we are losing and it's a team we beat in football... That's probably what they were doing or if we are winning and it's a team we beat "Just like football".

Yeah, that`s probably what they meant, because they do usually get the better side of us in football. Some of our chants get out of hand though. I cant even remember all of them, but I just know that we have been yelled at by refs, and the principal a few times. But hey, it`s all just for laughs.

Back to the topic though. Prayers go out to the kid and his family who lost their mother. It`s got to be rough to play after that happened. Let alone even have the mindset of thinking about playing, but it`s more of an honor mindset than anything else.

What great sportsmanship
