I will say, I do understand the emotions involved here, and I would not begin to try and relate with what the people from Orangefield are feeling because I have no ties to the community. But, stang4life does have a point. Why wish ill will or " be happy " over their loss? They are not the ones that " cheated " you. IMO, good news to the Orangefield folks would be that particular ref never officiated a game again, not for Navasota to lose. I have always felt that if I or my team lost in the playoffs, I would like for the team that beat me win it all, therefore I could claim that we got beat by the champions. Of course unless I have some personal ties with another team, be it fellow district team or some other connections that would lead me to pull for them instead, aka Silsbee and HJ situation.
I know this situation is a little different, and like I said, I won't begin to think I know how you guys feel. Gabe, after working with you over the last few months, I have come to know and appreciate how much the Lady Bobcat basketball team means to you. Please don't take this as a knock on you personally. You do an outstanding job and should be commended for it.
All I am saying is this, I really hate the fact the game ended the way it did, just sad. But to smile about another team losing just doesn't seem right. Also, having one to lose the way you guys lost is not right either.
