a loser attitude in Valley City

Losing creates a losing attitude and that spreads like a cancer untreated.

For about a decade Valley City has fostered a losing attitude. Their most recent of many crying requests for a 3rd class is the current exhibit. It follows a spell where the teams on the basketball court only schedule EDC once for 2 point games. And fill the schedule with area B teams (and still lose)

My point is their AD and administration have decided over the years rather than try to create better teams and systems. To find 'winnable' opponents. Basically telling the kids you are not good enough to beat Shanley, Wahpeton, Devils Lake, South etc. so we'll only schedule them once.

Don't for a minute think that doesn't make the kids feel inferior.

If you think you are beaten. You've already lost. In Valley City they will continue to not treat the cause. A losing attitude. Where losing is not only accepted. It's expected. Sad for the kids, coaches, parents, fans and the town.
