Oh NO She Di N't
I really wanted to post about prom but OMG a girl on Ryan's team created a little bit of a mess today and I HAVE to get this out so prom pics are at the bottom of this post! Today's game was a success on many levels, but it was a truly eye opening moment for Craig and I.
I stated in a previous post that a few of the girls Ryan plays with are ranked VERY high nationally. (also Destini Hughes, Cokie Roberts to name a couple) Well, today one of them decided to make an ass of herself in a big way. We've seen her try it with her school team (Ft. Worth Dunbar, who has won the Texas State 4A Championship twice-including this year- in the last 3 years. She was also the Texas State 4A MVP) but it was a whole new level today.
Brook got pissed off at the coach during the first half of the game. The coach got on her for not hustling and pulled her out very quickly. She turned to Mud (Coach Jackson, who owns DFW El!te) and said, "You better get this n!gga off me!" (Ryan plays with an almost entirely black team so we hear that word alot... but still!!! I couldn't believe it) When Mud told her that she needed to listen to the coach, she looked at the coach and said, "I don't give respect until I get respect! Do you know who I AM?" At which point the coach said, do you know who IIIIIIIIIIII am? Let me introduce myself. I'm your COACH! Straighten up or your ass will sit in the f*#@ing chair for the whole game." (Yes, he said the "F" word- again, its not like we don't hear that from some of the kids)
Let me just say that she never stepped foot on the court again. I was FLOORED! If my child spoke to someone that way I would yank her off the court and and fast! I would NOT tolerate that. Ryan had prom tonight so she wasn't there for the 2nd game but I'm DYING to know what happened.
It's just sooo disheartening to watch because this girl has SO much talent but she's lazy and she treats everyone around her like they are lucky to be in her presence. We've heard her cuss her teammates out during games.. while they are ON THE COURT. She doesn't hustle or even appear to put in any effort and she's still SO good. It's just a shame. This is the first year that she and Ryan are playing on the same team so we've only witnessed things from a distance, but it doesn't look as if our impression of her was wrong. (Side note: This girl has been able to SLAM the ball since 8th grade, though she's never been able to do it in a game)
As for the game, Ryan did well. They've got her playing the 3 (shooting guard) and she did pretty well, especially since she's never played that position. She had a good attitude about it and this will really help her for school basketball next year. They have two games tomorrow, but I don't know if I'm going to go or not. I've got so much to try and catch up because I'm still behind from being in the hospital.
I can't wait to see the prom pictures that the photographers took!
Here is one at the house before they left.
Ryan and her volleyball coach. You can't miss the peace signs being held over their heads. Ryan thought it was funny... uh, ok.
