We were just trying to get some respect for our young kids. These are the same kids who were ninth- and 10th-graders last year and now they're 10th- and 11th-graders.
It's tragic for some kids in that district who maybe haven't had a chance to play. But if you say bad things about them, then you come off as whining or crying. We'll just do the best we can with what we have.
