I don't know how it is at other schools but the girls and boys teams at BC are really tight. The amount of support they give to each other at games is quite remarkable. I guess I'm comparing it to our basketball teams and baseball/softball teams. The comradre with them is nowhere close.

If you are considering "support" to be the boys team chanting "Riverside...garbage" during the introductions, "I smell a d**che bag" or "The ref s**cks bull p*****" during the game (among the other derisive name callings), you could do with a little less support.

Seems a shame to have that take away from such a well fought and well played game on the part of the B-C ladies.

Of all the fans yesterday, BC's were the worst. Ugly nick-names just do not have a place in soccer. I'm sure your team is embarrassed to hear them while they are fighting hard on the field.

Unfortunately when you have large numbers of teenagers at an event like that, things like that happen. I'll definitely voice my concerns to our school officials about choice of words but would not discourage their enthusiasm. There was much more excitement/energy from our fans and I believe our girls fed off of that in the second half.

The point of this topic was the support the two teams (boys & girls) give to each other. Almost all the boys were there and a good majority of them would have traveled to other parts of the state to watch them play. Girls would have done the same. I don't see that in other sports. I know Riverside had to travel further but I thought there would have been more fans there.

Congrats to Riverside for winning the state.

P.S. I know that parents need to learn some code too. Ours and many others.

BCSoccerDad you hit the nail on the head. I would agree that the enthusiasm should remain. It was the foul language that was disappointing. First time I have been to a game during which the PA announcer had to warn folks that continued obscene language would result in removal. It was disappointing to see/hear all of that going on behind the coach and not see the coach turn around and caution the fans to keep it clean.

As to the support for Riverside, keep in mind that the boys team had a practice at the same time as the girls game. Seems they have a title game this afternoon. I would expect the girls team, and not a few parents, will be there in force.

Again, congrats to the Lady BearCats for a tough, well fought match. Good luck next year.
