Guest abovetherim Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Wow, I don't know all the facts so I'll just say congrats on the win. How many does Vidor dress out on the women's varsity team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Why did Vidor only have 3 girls on the court? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNGMOM Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Why did Vidor only have 3 girls on the court? Because they started with 7 cause 2 were not playing so 4 fouled out and left them with 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Wow, 4 girls fouling out. That is weird. If they didn't have a game this week, why didn't the coach bring up a few JV players just in case something like that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidors basketball program is very small..on top of the the refs were calling EVERYTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VP Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 We don't have leagues pushing interest in baseketball for our young ladies. Not like we do softball. Softball is VERYbig here. I believe that is why we do not have more youngladies in the sport in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawingablank Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Coach Arbuckle wasn't very happy about the press late in the game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpfan1990 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It is true...and it will happen to them when they play central you can bet on that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdad Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Just remember, that is a coach's decision. Don't blame the girls. Personally, I have never been impressed with PNG's coach. I've watched them play games the past 2 years and have left the gym shaking my head numerous times. I'm not sure if she is a true basketball coach.

VP Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Coach Arbuckle wasn't very happy about the press late in the game either.My daughter played softball last year for Arbuckle....she is a good coach doesn't put up with shanagins from the girls, if you talk in practice you will run the whole practice, etc.I can only imagine her screaming her lungs out at that game! She does speak her mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekamomom Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 You know, my daughter plays on the PNG varsity basketball team and plays her heart out - whether they are beating the tails off their opponent, or getting thier tails handed to them...and, yes, central handed us our tails! I don't understnd the bashing that goes on against us all the time, either on here or on the court/field. Those girls play hard and do what their coach tells them to. Sometimes the parents walk out of the gym trying to figure out what the coach is doing, but THAT'S HER JOB not mine to coach those girls! We have seen some pretty classless acts against us also, but you don't see that put on the message board. Believe me, our girls walked off the court last Friday night talking about how dumb that game was because of all the fouls called. It went both ways, though. One of the PNG girls got fouled out too! And the Vidor coach, I think, did her best with what she had to work with. I think the girls on both teams played hard, but PNG outplayed Vidor. PNG has a team that is pretty good this year. Are we going to playoffs? Not hardly, but we can be a spoiler team. Please stop talking so badly about these girls. They are, after all, nice people off the court.

drawingablank Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I don't believe anyone has said anything about the girls. I believe it was the coaches actions in question. Maybe I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, after all, nice people off the court.No one said anything about the kids, it was the coach that got everyone talking. Also that is sad, your coach pressed a team that had 3 girls on the court. Just adding insult to injury. I feel bad for the PNG girls, because when other coaches hear about what she did they will show no mercy and rightfully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NO WAY was my earlier post directed toward any of the girls on the PNG squad. The girls are just following direction from their coach no matter how misguided those instructions might be. I'm not sure what value or lesson the "coach" was trying to instill in her players, but if someone can enlighten me please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way, my neice plays for PNG and I know she is a good kid. I don't understand where you are coming from. Did we all miss something?
