We all know that he has been cocky in the past, but he has definitely grown up a little since then. Hamles had no reason to throw at Harper. Harper didn't show anyone up, he wasn't being cocky, he wasn't demanding respect from anyone. The only thing Harper has done since he got to the majors is play as hard as he possibly can. He has made more pure hustle plays in one week than some players make in they're career. I don't understand why some people dislike the kid so much, he seems like the player you would want your kids to play like. [/quote] Kinda like Tebow, right! [/quote] No. Harper has talent. [/quote] So does Tebow! [/quote] Not as  a QB he doesn't. Tebow doesn't even complete 50% of his passes. [/quote] He was statistcally still a rookie...so we'll see!

[/quote] What does that have to do with anything?  EVERYONE(players, coaches, fans, administrators, custodians, concession stand workers, etc.) in attendance at the game need to stand, place their hands over their hearts and sing the national anthem.  Why this is even in question is a complete disgrace & those who actually contemplate what to do when the anthem is played should be ashamed.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1173010" timestamp="1328555977"] My mistake on the standings, Livingston is at 7-6, Lumberton at 6-7 [/quote] Thanks

[quote name="LR2014" post="1172775" timestamp="1328541188"] [quote author=The Way link=topic=95414.msg1171817#msg1171817 date=1328324903]     Livingston won 43-38. From what I was told Lumberton played pretty sloppy and towards the end had a chance to run time off of the clock but instead kept trying to drive which lead to costly turnovers/fouls in Livingston's favor. Aside from that I heard only seven girls on the Lumberton team played tonight.     With the Livingston win tonight, a Lumberton win next Tuesday over Nederland at home, and a Livingston loss at Ozen there would be a need for a tiebreaker game between Lumberton and Livingston for the final playoff spot. [/quote] According to the win/loss record from this site, both teams are now 6-7. If Lumberton wins Tuesday and Livingston looses to Ozen, there should be no need for a tie breaker. [/quote] That's why I was asking earlier who won the last game between Livingston/Nederland...the thread says Livingston won but the standings have Nederland listed as winning...does anyone know which is correct.
