If the fans acted that way and made fun of the kids, then shame on them. But I think it was the students (as U mentioned) who were inappropriate. Welcome to a Ned/PN-G matchup. It's been like this for what 40 yrs?? [/quote] Same can be said about the "Fagot" comment by the PNG "KID" which is what started this all. Remember a Dog fan lumped all PNG fans in as "SORE LOOSERS" because of one kid. I agree with you, kids do stupid stuff all the time! And no Ned/PNG matchups have not been like this for 40 years...This may have been the first time ever that a PNG/Ned basketball game was relevent in the SE TX basketball scene. ;D [quote author=Nederland B-Dog Fan link=topic=79456.msg957056#msg957056 date=1296278347] Congrats dogs for the victory! I didn't hear what PNG fans said about our freshman but I was sitting next to our student section and they just chanted "West is Best" not Indianettes suck. Nederland vs PNG never seens to dissapoint in any sport [/quote] My daughter is an Indianette. She told me that they didn't chant it, but many of them said it while they lined up. [/quote][color=limegreen][/color]Honestly......the fans running out on the court wasn't just because we beat PNG. This is very exciting. Coach English has brought Ned basketball to a new level. Haven't been to the playoffs in 50 years until he came? Impressive! Ranked #20 in the state also very impressive! So being irritated about that, does fall under the sore loser category. Also, as we were out there it wasn't just "one" kid that said something derogatory to our freshman. It was several players and fans as well. The rivalry is fun when it is kept clean but when it becomes brutal and affects the kids and their self esteem,there's a problem. Not too sure if we can do too much about the fans but the players should be ashamed of themselves. We could sit and point fingers back and forth, that doesn't solve the problem. We need to talk to our kids. It's just sad that some parents are just as bad. Regardless, both teams played a great game.
