Quick glance thru your timeline shows you complain about officials EVERY game. We suggest 1) deep breaths 2) a massage or better yet 3) take the test, and if you are lucky enough to pass, become an official. Would love to see you in action and we will even pay the initial fee !
Kudos to Rejoice Christian and AD Brent Marley - after finding out that a Quapaw basketball player has a sister at St. Jude's hospital, Coach Marley arranged for a video live stream of Quapaw's regional game on Thursday so family members at St. Jude's could watch.
