    21 about to bust and Bobcats about to be tamed. Who else thinks it’s a good plan to relieve Hot Hand Milton of her tough defensive assignment? Let’s see how Mrs. T handles it.

    @Charks the bigger issue seems to be that CK has infuriated at least one teammate by referring to Tessi by her last name Coach Mimi will defer to CK who has become the player-coach while Mimi assumes her Thorpian figurehead status and piece of sideline eye candy for the two fans that accidentally came to the game

    P1 Tessi is an amaaazing 3 point shooter with that mangled wrist, and with a ball covered with ants no less

    P2 More ants than humans in the gym tonight, but isn’t that always the case? Is dude up in row three on his phone?

    P3 It’s better that CK gives you EES rather than a black eye or two, don’t get mad, get even and call CK by her last name, like it will bother her, but she might punch you out just because

    The frustration of Vickey D having not yet been invited to be the PA announcer for the girls team (see crowd size) is compounded when he realizes that he doesn’t have any cash on him and he plays the “do you know who I am?” card, furter, the offer of his next free wiener and large drink of hot dog water is rejected by the ticket takers thus denying Vicky D the opportunity to ogle girls with free flowing hair and baggy uniforms, leaving him only with his fantasies of the nick names he would give them

    Of course Tessi Milton can take the off guard. Given how she can shoot 3-pointers while bending her right wrist backwards toward her elbow by 150 degrees and moving her fingernails over to the other side, that girl can do anything! As for number 21, she may think the Bobcats have a slashing front line, but she doesn’t know what slashing really means until she sees how Valley Modified does it.

    Please refrain from reading my Wisconsin nonsense spin on this scene of total ‘bottomless pit’ nonsense:I think Sheldon Souray has fallen for Tess, but not for Milton. Is this some UW-Milwaukee gym class? Milton is in southern Wisconsin and 3 pointers re usually easily gathered at UWSP. (Sheldon Souray has a tendency to avoid a real Brunette .) That means Milton might be related to Bob Parker and not to Zach Zech.

    A basketball net IS actually a bottomless pit by design.

    P2: The spectator high in the bleachers is looking at his cell phone, and he has a suitcase at his side. He has bet heavily on the game, and he’s ready to call an Uber to take him to the airport if he loses. (He bet that CK would kill at least one Central player before the game was over, and he had a side bet that she would also maim a Milford player during a timeout.)

    My daughter played BB in HS and never, EVER, did I see a girl NOT have her hair in a ponytail or gathered in a scrunchie or a headband. The flow does not go! Why do I expect reality after following for these many years?

    P2- #21 looks well developed. Clyde Frazier would be proud of that stache.

    P1, Well, at least Tessi is keeping her stats up.

    P2, Slashing? 21 goes to the penalty box.

    P3, Coach Corina seems to have upset Milton Berle.

    Like me; her teammate doesn’t know Tessa’s last name

    Maybe The Mayor can pass CK something to counter Central’s slashing front line.

    Good idea. The last time that Milton was in the game, Paradise lost.

    What is wrong with calling a teammate by her last name?

    Maybe the Bobcats front line should get their nails trimmed.

    Being Milford hard feelings ensue after a Saturday Morning Cartoon reference to Milton “the Monster”.

    P-2 explains why the LA Kings are scouting the game.

    Because she is such a deadeye gunner, Tessi Milton decides to increase the degree of difficulty and block her own shot!

    P3- Mimi looks like she’s ready for the in huddle close up from Pirate TV. Why hasn’t Corina been guarding Central’s stache from the onset? Our little fireplug looks ready slap the floor and apply some Duke D with a thespian flop.

    @bearwku82 CK had an epiphany about what the “Milford Way” is – a CoachThorp empty suit mailing a less than half a$$, disinterested coaching effort, CK is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore and stepped into the Thorp vacuum and is calling the shots, when play resumes she will be putting shots on #21 or any other Bobcat that gets in her way, the “Valley Modified” way. The other team must suffer

    I see the girls have a larger than normal turnout for this game. Good to see Mimi earning her pay. Or whoever that is supposed to be holding the clipboard. Just smiling away, offering no defensive adjustments, while the team just goes rogue. And is (whoever) giving CK the stink-eye, or is it just the usual EES? Of course, that was super insulting using her teammate’s last name. How will they ever recover from this horrendous act?

    And speaking of insults, I’d be insulted if you didn’t read today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
