ReplyNo, I do not agree. The boys are also learning that they need to show up for the girls in return, and went to their competitions.to cheer them on as well, even in direct conflict with other obligations some of them had. It just needs to be more balanced. So, actually, I think it's sweet, and all the girls I have spoken to enjoy supporting the team and being part of the game.

Thomas A. - This nation is in debt because wars are not cheap. Bush gave us that by starting a war and lowering taxes at the same time. That was ludicrous! Then he tanked the economy through irresponsible fiscal policies that we continue to suffer from. Regarding our town, where do you think the money comes from? You want services? You have to pay for them.
National debt = cuts and raising taxes to compensate. To compensate for the national spending cuts to state programs, state and local governments need to either cut budgets or raise taxes. If you think any of this is simple, that would explain your position. Dealing with these budgetary constraints is not simple, and nobody was baited into any false sense of financial security. Short term funds were made available to allow towns to plan for the following years, knowing this was not a short term problem. If you did not get that, you were not paying attention.

Westford's team this year was every bit as good as both L.S. and A.B. The AB game was lost to a bad call - an illegal pass receipt on the final play. WA should have won that game. If you were at the L.S. game, you would never say that Westford was a lesser team. Show up and watch. The team was great - it just wasn't everything they had hoped and worked for. That's all. No excuses.
WA has several exceptional players and nothing to feel bad about.
