That's pretty darn cool. [smilie=superkewl.gif]

Wish I could say I would do something like that, but I think I'm a bit too competitive to help an opponent.

I love stories like this. Their parents should be extremely proud. And to think their actions knocked them out of the playoffs. Wow!

Probably not, but at the professional level I can't say I'd expect it to. But this was a great story, glad to see the two young ladies getting all the positive press. Hope they get a chance to tell the story on the Today Show or Letterman or something like that.

Wow, simply amazing. Their coach, school and parents should be very proud of them. And the girls should be proud of themselves.
Years from now, few will remember if their team made the playoffs, but many will remember this ultimate act of sportsmanship. I know I will.
