Last week, the Shelton boys' and girls' bas- ketball teams played their home openers to vast- ly different crowds. The Highclimbers opened their season Nov. 28 to a fairly packed gym. The school band was pres- ent as were cheerleaders. A good portion of the crowd was students and they were loud and proud. The home opener for the Lady Highc!imbers was played Saturday to a crowd of mostly adults. I'm guess- ing they were parents and assorted relatives. There was no band. The cheerlead- ers were missing in action. What students were there were few and far between. I don't understand the discrepancy. Were the dif- ferences simply because the girls played Saturday and the boys played Wednesday? I know Saturday's not a school day, but in my mind, the teams should be treated equally. This means that if a home game for the boys features the band and the cheerleaders, so should a home game for the girls in the same Week, regardless of what night the game is played. And where's the student support? I can't imagine claims for something better IN US All Packages Freezer Ready, Spent Re-Wrapping, Locker Packs Available.

HANSON I cer- tainly hope the crowd difference wasn't due to a lack of faith in the girls' team's abilities. I know they've had a rough few years, but at this point, they can only get better and the more support the girls get, the faster that's likely to happen. Regardless of the rea- sons, Saturday's crowd was subpar and disappointing. A home game is supposed to be loud and supportive and make the home team have fun while playing. Satur- day's crowd had moments of being loud, but it was not as supportive as it could've Shelton junior guard Chelsea Decicio heads during the Lady Highclimbers' home opener Saturday.
