Clay vs. Waterford @ the Convo 3/3/10

[MrClean]

steely..I don't believe pan-man was referring specifically to basketball..just Clay athletics in general.Their softball team has been very successful in recent years and has gotten absolutely no respect. Clay fans are generally very respectful of other teams and fans. Maybe you could learn something from them !!

GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS!! Here's to a hard fought game with no injuries & good sportsmanship...

MrClean - I'm not affiliated with Waterford, however, I've been to many of their games and their fans are great. To say they are disrespectful of any opponent is ridiculous, and for someone to question the "class" of the Waterford fans, based on one person's perception that the Waterford fans cheered solely for Eastern Pike, well, that is frankly biased and petty.

The school I support plays Waterford twice a year, and we always enjoy the fans and players from Waterford, as the are a "CLASS ACT". I don't need to learn anything from your fans at Clay.

I was NOT the only one that noticed and it wasn't a perception, it was fact. Perhaps it is petty, but when coupled with the fact that Waterford's coach runs the score up on inferior teams, it's no wonder people have that perception of the school. I will be cheering wildly for South Webster tonight, one of our traditional rivals, because they are from Scioto County, not because I have a grudge against Eastern Meigs. Waterford fans had no such connection with Eastern Pike and their actions speak volumes.

Wasn't Clay the higher seed? Did it ever dawn on you that maybe they were cheering for the underdog? Would you have been offended if you had been playing Fed Hock instead and the Waterford fans were cheering for the Lancers?

Holy cow, can't wait to hear you folks after tonight's game.

one fan
i dont see where it is a large group of folks on here complaining

i did see some waterford fans cheering for eastern, but i only saw a few
big deal, maybe there was a connection maybe there wasnt, they were on the same side of the bleachers, i dont care

i did think it was strange that clay was on the opposite side being the home team

steely_dan
dont throw everyone into one pile whether it is clay or waterford

there are a lot of stupid comments on this site from a lot of people, we need to all take it with a grain of salt

To answer your question, NO I wouldn't have thought it odd if they had cheered for Federal Hocking. FH is from the same league and fans usually back teams from their own league--at least in the tournament. As for your flawed logic that Eastern was the underdog, the two teams had split their home and home contests this year and were very evenly matched. If Clay had played South Webster, a 4 seed, do you really think South Webster would have been the underdog based on seed? What you will see from Clay fans tonight is them cheering for BOTH teams during introductions, good sportsmanship in the stands and on the floor, and congratulations all around after the game is over. As it should be.

Good Luck Panthers!

Waterford, BIG. After a performance they weren't very happy with against Paint Valley, I expect alot of intensity from Waterford in this game. No disrespect to Clay, but get ready, it is coming.

I Haven't followed really either team but how can you be disappointed with a 70-37 win

[Spiderjon]

Is this game on the radio?

Waterford was only up two at the half vs. Paint Valley.

[WhiteWhiskers]

Sure hope it's Clay in this one Then It will be an All SOC in the Regional

GOOD LADY JEEPS

I think that's pretty much what people have said all week.That Waterford will be too much for Clay.Only the Clay supporters didn't think that way.My handle might give you the impression that I am a Clay supporter, but I'm NOT.Hail To Pitt!!

No need to get snippy, it's a high school sport. Hope you're really not that into it.

Who are you talking to? Me or him? If you are talking to me,I could care less if Clay won or lost.But it was a forgone conclusion that this game would be ugly!Just read most if not all of the thread.

No final score yet but I hope with s 23 point lead at half, coach "close" doesn't run the score up to a 46 point win by keeping his starters in the whole game. If so, then god be with him at the regionals when he is unable to do the same things he's done in the district all year. Paybacks are heck
