  1. The NCISAA and the different school AD’s made a terror decision pushing for this tournament to occur on Thursday. The tournament should have been delayed an additional day or two or even another week if needed. There were a lot of parents that could not make it up for this tournament due to the roads and other family concerns that this weather created yesterday. To allow some teams not to even make the tournament and lose out on their opportunity to participate in the playoff is beyond unacceptable. All of our local AD’s Glen Foster (WES), Freddy Johnson (GDS) and Corey Gesell (HP)and their respective presidents should be called out for allowing this to occur. These AD’s and presidents were not thinking enough about the safety of kids, parents and the general safety of the teams that they are suppose to be watching over. Fortunately I don’t believe anyone was hurt but that is also due to so many families not participating in the event. I thought school like WES, GDS and HPC would be above these type of decisions and put kids first. When you consider that parents are paying nearly $12,000 per year for schools like WES & HPC and nearly $22k for a school such as GDS, you expect better decisions to be made around your kids. The public schools clearly have been making the right decision when it comes to kids safety up to this point. I wish the NCISAA and our local schools had done the same.

  2. If the schools traveled on chartered buses with professional drivers and they left a day early(Wednesday) then they should have been safe…

    The tournament directors advised the teams to leave a day early and they did….Decision was made by those at the NCISSA level and in charge of the tournament and at least that is what we have been seeing…

    They wanted to get the tournament in this week and there was no problem getting the games in yesterday, or at least that is what we are hearing…

    Let’s get the kids up here and get these games in seems like what the goal was and they got that accomplished with safety first by leaving and traveling on Wednesday…

  3. Just because no one hurt does not prove the decision was the correct decision. Several teams could not make the adjustment or get up to the tournament which is a terrible way for a kid to finish their high school career or year. I can understand getting the tournament over but it is just basketball and not worth risking the lost of life or even an accident just to get a game or two complete. If anyone was in an accident, then there would have been hell to pay. It would have been best to delay and ensure safety first. There were very few parents at the tournament yesterday compared to a full house in past years. The roads were not safe but unfortunately the NCISSA (including our local AD’s) were not putting the safety of families first over a game.
