Basketball season and reporting scores

Southern Sports & Travel

If you've seen the DISH commercial on television where a couple is talking about having to drive 15 miles in order to check their email because of the poor service they used to receive that is in a sense the predicament I've been in since November 11th. Only difference is my DISH service is great but my AT&T internet and cell service has been horrible since then.

While I can still receive text messages, sending or replying to them is another subject. I have to actually drive or walk approximately 700 feet from my home to send out text messages. I often do my best to reply to each text with a thank you so if you don't get that customary reply that problem will be resolved soon, I hope!

Last night was one of the very best nights for reporting basketball scores. So many coaches, players, parents and supporters took the time to send in scores, many with scoring stats. There is no other source anywhere that provides this many MAIS scores and it's because of nice people who care about their school and helping young athletes get recognition.

There are a few schools that for some reason just don't want to participate in reporting anything and that's their prerogative. I received word from the MAIS recently that some Sylva Bay representatives weren't pleased with my approach with regards to getting their scores reported but I now receive their scores each night thanks to a couple of very nice individuals who took it upon themselves to allow the thousands of Southern Sports & Travel visitors to follow their teams. I don't understand how that can be anything other than a good thing.

There are some who think Southern Sports & Travel is associated with the MAIS but to the contrary. Southern Sports & Travel is totally independent and receives no support from the MAIS other than occasional informational emails from time to time.

There is and has always been a clear, main objective associated with the purpose of Southern Sports & Travel from the very start six years ago, to promote MAIS athletics and its' athletes. That goal cannot be obtained through laziness or apathy.

If you don't see your team's score posted on Southern Sports & Travel feel free to text 985-750-3455 or ask your school representative to take the initiative to participate.
