  • I was horrfied watching some these Winthrop kids antics during state tournament. I'm sure that not all these kids are punks but their behavior celebrating goals and wins was an embarassment. I'm guessing the coach had a lot to do with the teams horrendous attitude and behavior. Congrats on State Title and shame on you coaches and parents for allowing most of these young men to behave like they did this past weekend (in a word disgraceful). Act like you've been there before.
