I've been really struggling with this lately. I know its not that big of deal, but still... For the past couple of days I have been trying to decide whether it would have been better to lose to Cape Central and have an opportunity to sweep through to the consolation championship or win and face Charleston (we all know what happened in that game) and then face Scott County Central.
Part of me would have really loved to go 3-1 and bring home a trophy. However, as the Cape Central game went into overtime I was rootin' hard and heavy for a victory and I did not want to lose. After it was over I was very proud of the way the Eagles battled. Shoot, not much could be sweeter than to beat a 5A school (I know its supposed to be just class 5, but 5A sounds better if you ask me).
To beat Cape Central was "schweet"!

Then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is an educational endeavor. Now, the kid could take basic math, basic grammar and basic basket weaving (read: Oak Ridge, Chaffee and Kelly) and make straight A's. Or he could take Calculus, College Comp and...well , advanced basket weaving (read: Charleston, Scott County and hopefully Advance or Scott City)
We may go 1-2 for the tournament but we will be challenged and have an opportunity to be tested. The alternative-beating three weak teams-would be like kissing your sister. Hey, even if your sister is a Miss America contestant she is still just your sister.
