Several parents whose daughters are members of the Eagle Valley Girls Basketball team were on hand at the March 12 school board meeting venting their frustrations with the way the girls basketball team is being handled. Board Chairman Bob Winkler explained that the board would not take action, but would listen as it is a personnel matter. Diane Considine served as spokesperson for the group. Over the next hour, criticism about the lack of professionalism and coaching abilities, the lack of response from the athletic director and school administrators, parents shut out of being involved and the general frustration of both players and parents were reiterated over and over.
