And as far as being racist, I don't think the student section has ever said anything racist. What are you even talking about zinnnnnbbbbaaalllll. Goddard IS the best student section.

We found them to be some of the absolute rudest (not to mention racist) fans we played. The whole time our team warmed up they heckled the players... Ok.. can live with that, but the heckling was all racially based.. .. which I believe was out of line (what is it with Goddard anyway?). I am disappointed in your best student section being Goddard.

At my high school our coach won't let us bump fists, and I think we are the only school that I have seen that doesn't. You must puke a lot then huh?

You are obviously very informed and you don't let the fact you go to Southeast cloud your judgement. That said, I'm sure your proud of your Buffaloes winning the 6A state championship. Joanna, here's one topic I would like for you to discuss: Why do so many teams find it necessary to bump fists with the officials during pre-game basketball introductions? It disgusts me to no end, and I want to puke every time I see it. I have written about it AD NAUSEAM for more than two years, but my pleas seem to fall on deaf ears, except for most schools in the Mid-Continent League. If NCAA teams don't do it, why do high school teams in Kansas find it necessary? It go so bad in another state, the director of officials now keeps the crew off the court during introductions to make sure that doesn't happen.

Don't want to creep you out or anything but I'm just a fan and appreciate the Eagle for making VarsityKansas. I do go to Southeast though and write sports for the school newspaper.
