There will be loses along the way and it is nothing to be embarrassed about. Grown adults ragging on a team for losing A game- come on- that just shows others your true colors- green- with envy.

I'm sure the Chaminade team is beating themselves up over the loss, as other teams do, when they usually go undefeated, but a good coach and team will learn from the game and come out stronger in the end.


This is true! I'm not a Chaminade fan, but do agree. Nobody really likes to see anyone else do well, except their own kids, many times even their own team members! Sad
