Smooth Criminal.

Crazy days at the state hockey tourney:
number one seed Notre Dame Academy gets bumped off by Verona, who blanked Superior* the night before.  NDA had crushed last year's champs Eau Claire Memorial to advance, and Onalaska almost needed overtime --  =a fresh sheet of ice -- to get past University School Milwaukee to get into the final round.

Good to see the public schools compete -- some of the privates have team psychologists to help the kids ... visualize winning and be the champions they were born to be, by birthright...  haha.

Good to see hard work and honest play trump entitlement.

Eventually in this country, we're going to see the same shift, as the younger hungrier better competitors overcome those current fatcats, lifting and stealing and pretending they're winning in a real game. 

Once we get a fair field, and each one reaps what he sows without taking from others... boy will we usher in a fresh cast of characters.  That's when America starts winning again.  Now, it's just a lot wallowing... letting the rich lead us down and pretending they lead us all.

Be careful what you inherit,
what it costs your children to entitle them without earning it.

* and Superior got to state by dominating the always overrated New Richmond, 3-2, despite their number 4 seed in the sectional.  The score does not indicate the level of dominance by the Spartans though, as NR had a few goals called off. The Spartans outshot the Tigers 40-23.
