I stayed to watch the last games and also witnessed the incident. I cant say the girl tried to break her leg, I can say she went in looking for unnecessary and intentional contact . Immediately , the umpire should have ejected her, he had no spine. She did appear to flex or act arrogant about what had happened. I couldnt believe what I saw. There is no place for this type of behavior by the girl, her father or the umpire. The Emeralds did remove her from the game, and that was gratifying to see. I saw no remorse from her or any of her family. Give the Emeralds coaches credit, I saw them talking to the Thunder coaches and it appeared they were very sorry and apologetic. I dont care if you dont like a coach , player or whoever, hurting someone like this is unacceptable. These girls are mostly 12 years olds, with their whole careers ahead of them. I just cant believe a 12 year old girl would do that without some type of outside influence, dad????????From some of the previous posts, it seems he is a bitter man. I dont know. I love competetion , as much if not more than everyone, but there is a line and they crossed it. I hope we all learn from this, and something like this never happens again. Ive seen Avrey play a few times, she is a great player and fierce competitor. She will be back and ready to go stronger than ever. That team will surely miss her but the most important thing now is to heal the right way . Hopefully she will not rush back too soon, no game no tourney, this year is worth possibly doing more damage to her leg. Good Luck and I hope shes doing ok.
