[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean beat Langley at girls and boys varsity basketball last Friday.  You can see how much school spirit there is at McLean and why people wouldn't want to be rezoned out of the school in this clip:

We were at both those games with friends and what your clip doesn't show is how rude McLean was to the Langley visitors.  All sorts of profane chants directed at them.  Not welcoming in the least, and if that's their version of "school spirit," count us out.[/quote]

I think you're just upset you lost both games.  I've been to a lot of contests at different schools, and there's no group of kids that knows how to dish out trash talk to other schools more so than "Otto's Army" from Langley.  The profanity, while regrettable, was in response to the Langley students who showed up at McLean early in the morning of the day of the game and defaced the rock in front of the school building with "FU*K MCLEAN"

The girls game was not much of a contest, but the Langley boys played tough against a more experienced McLean squad.  It was disappointing to see the Langley students walk out towards the end, rather than see the game to its conclusion and give their classmates a well-deserved round of applause.

A.  I don't have kids at Langley, so have no dog in this fight.  I've attended McLean games before with our friends who live near the school, and this is the treatment McLean usually gives visiting teams.  I realized there is a big rivalry between McLean and Langley, but the reception they gave Langley was over-the-top and unnecessary.

B.  I have no idea what "Otto's Army" is.

C.  It was clear from where we were sitting that the Langley students left before the game ended because of the verbal abuse McLean was heaping onto them.  Can't say I blame them.[/quote]
