  1. There's never a guarantee come playoff time, however, as mentioned earlier they had already played Sweeney on their home field and beat them handily in game one of the series...

     

    So it wasn't a case of them not knowing what was in front of them and what their chances were of winning one of the next two games and advancing...

     

    It was pretty clear which team was the better of the two and it's not like baseball where there was going to be a different starting pitcher the next time out...I doubt anyone that's being honest would dispute the fact that Coldsprings chances of advancing with their full complement of players were really high...

     

    I don't understand the argument of the girls not expecting to make the playoffs...If you're not going to play and give your best come playoff time what's the point of practicing and playing games all year..It's a honor to make the playoffs and represent your school, district, etc..

     

    Also if the players had of wanted to sell their tickets and get their money back there were options to do so...The player that did stay behind and play sold hers and from what I hear had several offers for her ticket almost immediately.

     

    There was a line of folks ready to step in and buy the other 4-5 tickets so losing money wasn't really the issue..It just came down to a decision of whether they wanted to put the team before themselves and unfortuntately for the other players, parents, and fans that have supported them all season they chose themselves over their teammates...

     

    Btw, what's a deep run into the playoffs worth? I know there are probably hundreds of girls in the state of Texas that would gladly pay a couple hundred dollars to go a few rounds deep...Especially girls who haven't ever got to experience it...
