They embrace that diversity and it shows on the Basketball Court with players of latino, native american and African American desent. Its all about who you are as a person and thats what is great about a small town like perry. Unfortunate ly that diversity isnt being celebrated by everyone. We are all aware of racism, its alive and well in small portions but its alive and well and its just hurtfull to see thats what they resort too. At monday nights game against Dallas Center grimes opposing fans used trumps disdain for Illegal Immigrants to target several with the Political Climate the way it is this year, its a little more chargedits cut the communty and players like senior Shammond Ivory deep. Its honestly disrespectful, thats how i take it. I hear it during the game and on and off the court everywhere i go. Its been a constant almost all season for perry. We had an instagram issue 2 weeks ago with a Conference School and the School Administrators took care of it very well. The jayhawks have found a way to turn the other cheek. Theres a way to be loud and proud and we live by that and we do it every single day we are respectful, were loud obviously we win, it works we dont need to be disrespectful. They ve turned hatefull chants into motivation. 12 15 5612 16 08a s soon as i hear Something Like that it just triggers me and it makes me strive for more and to do it for my team, coaches and my community. A list of sportsmanship traits immediatelty greets all those that walk into the perry teams follow suit and if they dont, they hope their play on the court can change their hearts and minds about race. Its not about the color, we are all equal. Steve watson the Dallas Center grimes activities director confirmed the chants at last nights game and said that he issue has been addressed at the school.
