Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for December 29, 2015

Another giant salad for the Thorps. Maybe they like leftovers. Well, if Kenzie is a senior, she’s a little late to be a “project.”

Since when? Seniors played on the JV at my high school.

Mopman, how much does Gil pay you to keep the kitchen counters clean?

She’s definitely going to play on the guy’s team.

Jadine and Jethrine sittin’ in a tree. . .

Looks to me like Mimi only has 8 girls on the team and Jethrine has concussed 2 of them in practice so it seems to me she’s in. And really, where is Boo? She’s certainly tall enough to at least try out and she can’t be much worse than Lurch.

Or maybe Gil could take her. My high school coach always had one or two of the football players on his teams just to go in and foul people. It worked, he was a State Champion Coach our senior year and a couple of other times after that.

Nice shine on that counter in P3 Mop Man but that gym floor is gonna need some work before the first game.

P2, Coach Mimi is talking out her butt! (I made it polite ;)Seniors can be JV at my present school, too, as mentioned by another post.

It appears Gil Father is preparing the meal while Mimi is doing her best Marty Moon imitation. Or is that a bottle of Yoo Hoo?

In all reality , is it safe for Jad NE to play basketball ? She speaks through her wind pipe, catching an elbow in it might be harmful .

In our school seniors and juniors are allowed on the JV team only If they have never played high school basketball before.

Is Gil wearing a thinner than normal watch band? It almost seems like a real watch, and we can see the actual watch part of it.

I’m thinking Ken(zie) went out for basketball because she heard that lineman are cool (and she got to Milford too late to try out for football).

Jethrine= 5 fouls. And some point in the season, At some point in the season, a skilled Lady ’Lark will be the recipient of some rough play and Jethrine will play the role of Bob Pronger, Tony Twist, Tie Domi, etc..

I sense a possible lawsuit scenario if Kenzie doesn’t make the team. Is Knox Foley still in school or will he come back as a student lawyer?

So Mimi, you’re going to cut some other poor girl who’s a better player? Or…are you announcing cuts are coming to see which of these sweaty young ladies is willing to “go the extra distance” to make your team? I might like this story-line.

Yeah, Kenzie will spend most of the season on the bench, but whenever some player on the opposing team gets a hot hand, Kenzie’s job will be to go in and break it.

If those other girls would stop running into Kedzie, everything would be fine.
