What a shame that someone is complaining about kids playing basketball at 12 midnight. My daughter plays late at night and thank God she does. I'm one lucky mother whose child opts for basketball as opposed to drinking and drugging at 12 midnight.

Your daughter playing basketball at midnight keeps my daughter awake well beyond that because the ballers can't find something quiet to do long after the park closes. If your daughter is seven like mine is, you have larger issues than I., and that is where the shame lies.

She's 17 and has played basketball in our driveway late at night...So proud as she's D1 next year. Thank God for the parks and recreation upkeep of our courts in our town. Good luck to both of you and when you are stressed out, go shoot a ball.

Your level empathy and compassion are to be commended; thank you for sharing. Please post a sign to the Alcorn basketball hoops that instruct those needing to play late-night ball to use your driveway where they can't be hassled.

Ours play full court games at our park's courts. Be happy. The outcome from being a positive influence in your daughter's life will bring you both much happiness. Good luck to you.
