Browntown Game

Last night I went to a basketball game at Brownfield it was no different than any other game this year the fact it was the last game was not a factor. The fact our girls have never lost to them that was not a factor. The fact they are a poor ethnic school on the decline in a dieing town with little opportunity. Those are all facts but they have no bearing on the game between young girls... Wrong these are all contributing factor as to what happened last night. A bit of history two years ago our girls won the National Little Dribbler Championship
and beat you got it Brownfield. Now our girls have keep growing being mostly caucasian and Brownfield are mostly Hispanic and have stopped growing they are all going to be 5 foot to 5' 5' and our girls are tall 5'5 to 6'foot. So the teams are not even competitive any more our girls are to big to fast and are better athletes  better basketball players. So here we are watching this blowout 20 to 10 first half and our girls have missed a ton of shots it could have been 40 to 10 easily. Now the referees were a short Hispanic man about 5'foot tall and a Hispanic woman about the same. Now you could tell the woman had never refereed a game before and the man was making calls all over the court. I her zone and his. That in itself is wrong.  It is unprofessional and unheard of in the ranks of officiating. That is disrespectful to your partner calling the game. So we have a crew that is out of balance. Now  to add insult to injury the man starts calling a home town game. That is right everybody has seen it when a official starts to make to many calls and to many for the home team. This is part of the game but he was just blatant he was out of control. The problem was no matter how much cheating he did it was not going to change the out come of the game. The big dog kills the little dog every time.No matter how much you try and fix the fight. Now for the economic impact after the game we were going to go out to eat there in Browntown. But after such a sorry game we drove all the way back to Lubbock to eat. We are not going to spend any money in Brownfield and next year we are not even going to the game there if they play there we are not going to contribute any money to that town. After the game when they were shaking hands one of there players when told she played a good game she: replied KISS MY ASS when our coach told her not to talk like that she told her to shut up you can't tell me what to do. It is really sad to hear 8 grade girls talk like that. But it is a product of the town where there is no opportunity people can get really trashy and it rubs off on there children. The only thing they have is to live through their children and when they lose they take it hard. So they try and cheat. With their little hometown referees. That is what happens when you have to play little dieing towns here in west texas. Just my opinion..........
