I didn't see the game and from all that I have read, I feel bad for the players on both teams. Wando have to live with their championship "tarnished" because people won't let it go. Lexington girls will always think "they got screwed" because that's what the people closest to their program will continue to tell them.

Very unfortunate all the way around.

adidaskitten, futbol, Coach Chass and swimmer all seem to make the most sense. I realize that at least three of the four of them were pulling for Wando.

1. I find it hard to believe that Wando played with an extra player for more than a couple of minutes (not 6, not 10, definitely not the whole second half). Lexington coaches and players would have caught on to this quickly.

2. Coach Champ would never run the risk of tarnishing her state championship victory by intentionally breaking the rules. I don't know her, but I've seen her resume...no way she would cheat.

3. If Coach Champ made a mistake, at least three of the four officials made a bigger mistake.

4. The players not shaking hands immediately at the end of the game is absolutely inexcusable. I don't care how volatile the atmosphere was....too bad, you shake. This would have been a great opportunity to show good sportsmanship and I think, in time, the girls from both sides will regret that they didn't have the chance to congratulate their opponents.

My two cents.....better luck next year to both teams.
