[quote name="LifesABall" post="1169402" timestamp="1328073108"] [quote author=hammer head link=topic=95103.msg1168957#msg1168957 date=1328057971] Im sorry i was just responding to Half Indian/Wildcat when he spoke of the grades for (his son). My child didnt try out for the team but i several of my friends kids that did and didn't make it. the others do to be a shineing star for the district.[b]Maybe the kids parents that didnt make the team should try to get the job of the voice of the PNG Indians, or mow the coaches grass or what ever [/b] [/quote] I don't post very often on this site, but I do like to read the threads to get information on all athletic teams across the area. I made an exception tonight because, after being interested in this topic, I found the above quote from hammer head. I am the Voice of the PNG Indians and, yes, my son made the PNG sophomore baseball team today and I'm very proud of his accomplishment. To insinuate that he made the team because of me announcing football games is ludicrous. You obviously don't know me OR my son! He made the team on HIS talent and HIS determination to be the best Indian he can be, both on and off the field! Sorry to the rest of the posters on this thread for getting off subject but I'm not going to let someone make such accusations. [/quote][b][/b] So what about the kids that have no ties to the district or the coaches? Are you discounting their ability also? I for one do not think what your saying is fair to these kids at all because I guarantee the KIDS are being more ADULT about the cuts than YOU are. Its just wrong to assume a child makes teams because of their parents & not consider their ability to play the game. The players you are speaking of are very good atheletes & make the grades!!
