If I had any idea of the activity on the Celina Lovejoy Update thread, that was in reaction to my post titled “The Story of the Game… IMHO’, I would have immediately addressed the comments. However the thread was closed and as such it had been pushed off the front page and I had no idea. I did address my comments regarding the game on the ‘Celina Basketball’ this morning, and I went to copy them here, but that thread now seems to have removed for some reason… I sent a PM to the moderator asking why and requesting a copy of those comments.
Anybody who has read my previous posts, which you can anytime, will read that I have always been fair minded, humble and always protecting the interest of the kids playing the game… in all of them.
Reading the controversial post now, my comments seem harsh and I see now, how they were misconstrued as a personal attack on a fine young man, which they were not intended.
In the context of the thread, in the aftermath of the game, I was responding to attacks by others saying Celina was overmatched, out-coached and dominated in every facet of the game. In the heat of that ‘moment’, as you read, I indicated our passing game, and therefore by default our QB had a bad night, and that that was relevant to the outcome of the game.
Obviously, if I could take it all back, I would. I meant in no way to cause any further emotional pain than that already being felt by all, especially the boys that were out there giving it everything that had last Friday night, as well as the months and years leading up to that final game for many of them.
My sincere apologies to the Stephenson’s especially, I don’t know the family personally, just by their fine reputation in our community, and I will attempt to atone for my misjudgment by continuing to fully support all our kids in their endeavors to become the young adults we are proud to say are our Bobcats.
