UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT

[MGUNVILLE]

Earlier in the year there was a game played in Dunseith vs Minot Ryan. There was comments from some of the Ryan fans asking why were all the fans from other towns cheering against us. Last night it was clear to me why other towns cheer against Ryan. The Ryan student body stands under the the oppenants basket and jumps and yells while the oppenant is on offense. The whole basket shakes and causes disruption for the oppenant. Not only is this unsportsmanlike it also puts the oppenant at a disadvantage with the basket moving.

Gunville strikes again. First your excuse for your predicted loss to Ryan in the Regional championship was the bus riding factor, now it's the Ryan students. The tournament officials assign the student sections and both teams fans stand under their designated basket. It is only the opponents basket for half of the game. Also it is a technical foul if the fans move the basket. Pretty sure the refs deserve more credit than you are giving them. They would absolutely give Ryan a technical if their fans actually did this.

Now let me address your team and fans unsportsmanlike conduct just to be fair to both sides. Minot Ryan and Dunseith were assigned the same side of the dome last night for fan seating. My family and I sat amongst the Dunseith fans for the MLS/Dunseith game. The game went into double overtime. In overtime when either team went to the line for free throws BOTH teams fans would yell while the kid would shoot. This always happens in close games, and I was not surprised I guess. I became surprised when an adult woman that was dressed in Dunseith clothes yelled "MISS" whenever an MLS kid stepped to the line. Really? An adult? This is classless. Highschool kids do this all the time and it still is classless, but for and adult to do this reflects very poorly on whichever team they are cheering for. And the icing on the unsportsmanlike conduct cake would be EDIT lining up for MLS to shoot free throws and waving his hands in the air above his head as they shot. I was completely shocked that his coach would allow that. Classless at best.

Good luck tomorrow Gunville, hope the bus ride and ryan students don't lose the game for you.

First of all I never said Dunseith would lose the game to Ryan in the Regionals. 2nd of all you apparently didnt watch the game between Berthold and Ryan. The basket moved every time Berthold was on offense in the first half. By the way it was pointed out to me by a fan from another town. Just trying to keep the games fair no matter who plays. Good luck Ryan be good sports.

How is it original? They are saying the name of their school and what team is playing with a delay between the words. It's not even a cheer.
