The Burrall Blog – Frustration, Then Class

2/20/10 – 8:16 PM

These are not easy times for the Newcastle Dogie boys basketball team.  With two games to go before the 3A East Regional Tournament, they’ve won only once in conference.  The latest loss came today at home to Rawlins, 58-43, after Newcastle had a 13-point lead in the first half.

Rawlins blitzed the Dogies in the second half.  Newcastle was frustrated, feeling the calls weren’t going their way.  Then, it boiled over.  First, there was one technical foul, then another, then another.

Head Coach Allen Von Eye had one of those three.  After the game, was he stewing?  Was he angry?  No.  He came on our air and apologized.  He apologized on behalf of himself and his team, saying these actions weren’t representative of him or them.

Self-accountability seems to be a problem with a lot of people these days.  But it isn’t an issue with the Newcastle Dogies.  They’re not having a good year, but they’re really good people to be around.  That starts with a classy head coach.

We’re lucky to have Allen Von Eye in our community, no matter what the win-loss record may be.
