My Biggest Gripe...

I know, another post about sports. But I have to get this off my chest. My high school basketball team who shall remain unnamed was number one in state most of the season, and ended up at number two near the end. They raced through the regular season, beating one of the private school teams that have been problematic for us in the last few years. They were the favorites in the state tournament, and looked to be heading for state! My friends and I had all planned to go up to the state game, which was supposed to be tonight. Well, on Thursday night, in the final four, my team lost, to that same private school team that has caused us so much trouble in the past. Now, first off, we are better than them. Whether or not the game showed that, we had the talent and the drive to win the trophy. We had one bad game, which came at a very unfortunate time. I fully beileve that if it were a seven game series like in the NBA, my team would have won. That being said, private and public schools need to be separated. It isn't fun for anyone but the private schools when they win championships every year. Football, basketball, lacrosse, etc. They can afford the best facilities, and students from all over the state come to be on their team, because they know they have the best chance to win a championship. My school's team has been working hard all year long, and it is legitamate team, one that has come together because we all live in the same neighborhood, one that had to grow and learn to trust eachother, one that had to practice at the same time as the girl's team because we don't have enough money for two big gyms. The team that beat us is always good at basketball, because they pay to be good. I realize that in life, it's the same way. Whether it's the Lakers or the Yankees, sports teams in big markets win championships because they have endless funds. I think this can be fixed, at least at the high school level, and I wish administrators would see the same thing I do. Thoughts?
