Congratulations To
The Firestone High School Lady Falcons Volleyball team.
City Champs.
12-0 in the city, and toyed with Ellet in the Championship Game.
Note to Coach Wallis of Ellet: Unlike what you might have read in the Beacon Journal article linked above, 12-0 teams are expected to win against 8-4 teams. Claiming that your team “played poorly” is only to insult to your team, which had a good season. Firestone was 3-0 against your team this year, and was 12-0 in the City.
You can either give credit where credit is due (‘they played great all year, and, while we made a game of it, they beat us, and we’ll get’em next year’), or blame your team (‘we played poorly’ ).
‘We played poorly’.
Translation: my team choked. We wuz robbed. We should have own, but my girls folded like a cheap accordion – just like they did in the first two matches.”.
That’s what “we played poorly” after going 0-3 against another team says.
