Aloha Val! No need to apologize, but your sentiment is so awesome. It was only a few Moanalua fans who were negative, and though they weren't all yelling at full throttle, the fact that they had young children nearby hearing everything … that blew me away.

The best action we can take as fans or family is to use peer pressure to negate that 1% (or less) that bring negativity through the gym door. A little positive reinforcement. A little reminder that the kids need to hear support, not the opposite. It has to come from those of us in the bleachers because the coaches, trainers, athletic directors and other administrators already have their hands full. It's on us to encourage each other to remain positive.
