What exactly do you mean by unfounded pride? I have followed the Piute team all season and they definitely have SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF. They have been solid all season and are among the hardest working teams in high school basketball.
Here are a few of their accomplishments:
-Second in league play only behind Escalante.
-Lost to Wayne by a last second shot in region.
-Defeated #1 ranked White Horse in first round of
state tournament.
-Defeated a tough Tabiona team in the quarterfinals.
-Defeated Region 15 champion in the semifinals.
-Had three Academic All-Staters.
-Second place finish at state above 30+ teams.
Yes, they should be proud. And you are disgusting for trying to belittle the accomplishments of these fine young men and their coaches.
I will agree Escalante is a fine team. Unlike you I give credit where credit is due. I also believe in calling a loser a loser and by you attacking good kids you have proven you are a true LOSER.
AND YES THEY DID DEFEAT THE REGION 15 TOURNAMENT CHAMPION WHICH DETERMINES THE SEATING FOR STATE.
