Was this a Chapin player at the game or one here on the board? If it was from this board, who was it?

But I know one thing if that game was hosted at socastee high school those signs never would have been displayed on our home side stadium or away noone would even make signs like that from our school because they know they would be taked down immedietly. THAT IS CLASS!!

I know for a fact that if it was at Socastee there would have not been a sign not near as bad. Maybe a good luck Braves or Go Braves, but nothing to dis the other team. The signs were uncalled for to begin with and then to post on the visiting side so that way when the fans had to walk by them was just pushin it too far. I know that I was very upset as we warmed up and saw those signs going up. That just lit a fire in our hearts and helped us push ourselves to play that much better.

If they were placed on the home side then they would be directly in view for the socastee team and fans. So the location of the signs really has nothing to do with the problem. And finally the game was full of emotion so we should just drop the discussion of "class" and signs, because it really doesn�t matter anymore. Good job chapin on a succesful season and good luck to socastee. And SHSsoccer how truly ignorant can you be, as to bash �chapin officials� and "what kind of school they run" for the signs. If the signs offended you that bad, please take up another sport like...cheerleading, but wait...no that wouldn�t work because they were the ones that made the signs, and that would be terrible if you had to put up with that "OH SO CRUEL AND THREATENING SCHOOL SPIRIT" every day.
