25. "Wow... wow....The coach didn't give out trophies!" In response to In response to 0
So, I just got back from my son's football banquet (see post #17), and the coach announced that since the team went 2-8, that didn't warrant giving out any trophies.
He gave out letters to the varsity lettermen, JV got certificates, and he acknowledged the kid who had a 4.0 GPA with a plaque.
He also gave those kids that got all-county recognition their trophies and medals from the county.
...everyone else got the gasface!
I'm positive this isn't the last we'll hear about this. Several parents looked stunned, but no one said anything at the banquet.
I don't know whether to get mad... I mean my kid didn't really do anything to deserve a trophy, or whether to respect the coach's gangster.
