Re: We was robbed!!!
Our students (all ya'll- not just the green ones) make me truly proud on a regular basis. But this thread reminds me of one particular time.
Last year at the Championship a MOE parent was volunteering to queue on the field where MOE competed. The head ref told him- not realizing he was a team parent- how impressed she was when she ruled against the MOE students who had asked her to review a call because they spoke well and respectfully to her and accepted her decision in a really tough break.
I figured that was another big win for FIRST.
It's easier for me to see this. I've got years of FIRST experience to balance on, but there's lots of kinds of winning because there are lots of goals to work for. The scoreboard is just one.
And off season events are fun just for this reason...friendly rematches!
