Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 01, 2025

Wait. Sports related drama? Gil doing bad-ass coaching?

Oh, my gosh! Henry has overdosed his testosterone meds!

“I don’t care if we won.” Isn’t that the goal of your team? Oh, wait, Gil always shoots for second place and embraces failure.

What’s with SpongeGil Squareface? Would it really take that much extra effort to round out the bottom of the face to look, well, human?

What’s a “last runner-up all practice” ?

Team runs in a line, last person sprints up to the front, this keeps rotating, Clock is running, you have to go around the court in a certain time. No basketballs. Coach knows their effort may have won this game but it’s not going to cut it later in the season. Milford won? Oakwood’s much more of a wrestling school.

P1 – Gil Thorp only coach in America who wears an outdoor coat and blue jeans to an (indoor) basketball game.

Also his coat collar appears to change from P1 to P2.

P3 – Why is Inma in boys’ basketball lockerroom?

“Last runner-up all practice”…the author is apparently using sports-sounding words and sticking them together at random. (Tune in Monday for the All-City 100 Meter World Series Playoff!")

Gil is longer striving for 2nd place in The Valley? How FAR is Thorp and his lovable mitts willing to go? These kids are like the kids playing HS sports today. No shower after the game.

run til you puke

Punctuation matters. The drill is called “last runner up”, not “last runner-up” which implies something completely different. Another example as to why the hashtags are factual.
