A Grrr Ending to a Wonderful Season

Well, we had the first game of playoffs for the Black Knights. We lost, but not due to the superior plays of the opposing team. No, we lost because most of the players are also on the basketball team at school and they didn't want to have overlapping football and basketball practices for up to two more weeks, so they threw the game. The basketball coach had heard rumblings of this so he showed up to the game but this boys didn't know. The football coach benched several guys for obviously trying to throw the game and the basketball coach benched the players he watched throwing the game. So they got punished for doing that, but honestly there is no way to punish them satisfactorily for taking away their team members opportunity to take it all the way.

This team has pretty much played together since 1st grade and they have barely ever won a game. So this was huge for them to have a winning season AND make it to play-offs!
