The young Bulldogs barely broke a sweat in this tourney. No contest. I gotta tell ya young bulldogs, not sure why there wasn't a presentation after the championship game to recognize the players and coaches by the Alexander AD. Would have been a nice gesture as opposed to just handing the plaque to the coach, not saying anything and walking away. Embarrassing.........

You can expect the same thing next year in jv. Most people don't even know who won the tvc in jv. I know I don't. I am not saying it is right, but that is how it is. You don't see to many write ups in the newspaper about freshman or jv. I am glad they had enough teams get in to have a freshman tournment. I herd some of the teams in it didn't play one freshman game all year. I herd one team only had five or six players. Hopefully they can keep these freshman tournaments going every year. I think these young kids enjoy playing in them.

How about just being a good neighbor - kind of like State Farm

I know freshmen are not going to make the paper and get those accolades but at least at the tournament do proper recognition.
