sour grapes - last time I checked, Hamilton hasn't gone 0 for or 1 for the season in the last 3 or 4 years. In Hamilton it's about the T-E-A-M, not one specific player like at some other schools that the J-N like to kiss @$$ with (Lakota West anyone?).

When it comes to high school sports playoffs, as an HHS grad, obviously I'd love to see the Big Blue in there. But since they aren't, I will cheer on the GMC teams. Good luck West and Middletown!

To HHS Fan:

Kind of like we have gotten to watch HHS go down in flames week in and week out for the past 8 years. Shame on you, show some local pride, its not those kid's fault your team can't make the playoffs.

I could give a crap about basketball - too boring. But I WILL delight in watching West, Middletown & Badin go down in flames!
