“wow, a lot of negativity toward the south team because they lost. My daughter was on the South team and the whole team was nothing but smiles after the game. Would they have liked to win? Sure, but they had the best 2 day experience and would not have traded it for anything. They made new friends and had the chance to play on a national stage.”



The negativity towards the South team is not because they lost, it’s because of how a majority of them got there. Make it a fair process and win or lose congratulations to them for the experience. Make it about who you know and the calls that can be made, you take the validity of the entire team away, even from the ones who are deserving. This event, especially on the girls side, is no longer an event of merit. It became a popularity contest when CSE took over and most are over it. Good luck to all of them in college.
