South coach Dawn Engleman’s qoute in the Valley Morning Star story Forget the Alamo City summed up Friday night at the Convocation Center.
“I’m really disappointed,” said an emotional Dawn Engleman. “I feel sorry for the Valley, we’re not going to get any respect.”
You can’t take the Sweet 16 away from South and McHi because they proved to be the best in deep South Texas but the way they lost doesn’t help the Valley’s image as a notch below other area’s in the state in most prep sports.
No Respect
A photographer from another paper asked me Friday if I was staying the night in San Antonio or going home after both teams lost.
Actually, I am not sure why he automatically assumed I was from the Valley because I was not wearing a press pass and never met the guy.
I told him it would be too tiring to drive home and that I was staying the night.
He laughed and said, ‘I guess you have to have confidence or hope. Good luck to the Valley,’ and walked away.
Travel lightly
The Lady Hawks didn’t have a huge entourage like the rest of the teams at regionals.
They even needed help with the book.
Sharyland volleyball coach Lizette Torres, who played basketball under Engleman at South, was asked by the Lady Hawks coach if she could lend a hand with the book.
Look out
Now that basketball is over, I’ll be blogging about baseball and track & field. Hopefully I don’t lose the basketball fans.
There is still some basketball left. Keep an eye out for the All-Valley team in the coming weeks.
