Troy,
Tell Gabe I thought he did a great job this year. I am so glad he extended his season as long as he did. He is one tough cookie. You are right about Coach Decker. He had a tremendous influence on my life at such a young age, not just as a great coach, but also as a human being. Luckily for me, I had a wonderful coach and mentor in High School as well.
Thanks, Lee.
As for cheering for your opponents, my son, has usually had a kid from his own club (even when we were in Salina) who gets to stay on the front side of the bracket longer...often to the finals, and we are right there cheering him on. We enjoy getting to practice against that kind of talent all the time, too. It can only make both of 'em better.
