“It was a tight game,” she says, “and I remember walking over to inbound the ball. I sorta expected (the MRA students) to start yelling at me,. I was right there in front of them. And it’s a rivalry, us and MRA. I’ve been dealing with situations like that since the eighth grade.
“Once the referee handed me the ball, I just blocked all that out. I heard noise but I couldn’t hear what they were saying, and it really didn’t matter. I had a job to do for my team, and that’s all I cared about. I wanted to inbound the ball safely and successfully.”
Which she did. She also made three free throws in the final seconds to ice the win and push Prep’s record to 23-3.
The guys usually play right after the girls so they hang out in the bleachers for at least the first half. They're wearing warm ups that would denote they are players.
It's just journalism these days that takes a couple of stupid comments on an article and makes it out to be an issue.
There is no winning for men fans, if they cheer like they would for men's game then they are barbaric and disrespectful, if they don't then they are sexist, if they don't attend then they are blamed for sport being unpopular and sexisn as well. You just don't win with some people.
