WOW, that's some serious stuff!!
I don't think she was "the" leading scorer. She was "a" leading scorer. Anyway, serious stuff indeed. We had a Tech player kicked off the team last year, readmitted, and then kicked off again. She didn't do anything near this serious, but it sounded like she had the emotional instability to be similar. Thank goodness, she didn't.
Anyway, I hate it when any student has problems like this. The girl needs help and, probably, needed help long before this happened.

I don't recall ever finding out what Nixon did last year but was very dissapointed!
I had hopes that she might come around and be a great
Techster.
I don't want to think that any Techster would be like a Lady Indian from Northeast though!
It's sad but couldn't have happened to a better team..smiling
Let's not get too smug about this. This is happening everywhere and it could happen here too.

I know you know this Gene, but I wanted to make sure others knew it, as well. Cheryl was injured before the brawl, but was still playing in the game. She was further injured by grabbing her players and holding them BACK from the brawl. She was not part of the brawl and was commended for her part in attempting to stop it.
The way our basketball teams have been shooting, no one would be in danger of getting hit. HA
That's COLD ( but accurate! ) for now. Give 'Spoon a chance to teach 'em some technique & hopefully it'll B different this upcoming season.
BlindDog - While I also have no sympathy toward any of ULM's programs, this is about an individual, not a team. Hope she gets the help she needs.
Champ - Yep, I knew that Cheryl was playing hurt most of this season & wasn't it refeshing, given her reputation for playing hard & physical ( but NOT w/cheap shots!! ), that she was the peacemaker in this brawl?? U go, girl!! Now that she's out for the season, can we get her to come back to Tech & work w/the post players ( WAIT!! Do we have ANY?? ) on a volunteer basis??
