without a doubt I would have loved to stay and play in my home town but there was no way i was going to play for big al. If spears would have started coaching in 97 all of us would have stayed and probably brought home a gold ball. I never knew why spears didn't wo'nt to coach us.. Going to ca was great and playing with my best friend was great but the school overall stunk, nothing but hypocrites. I wish we all could have played together. If you really think about the team we would have it would have been unreal; robinson, spears, tenry, keltner, davis, alexander, sigler, plus more. We would have had 12 starters. I don't even like to think about, us with the best coach ever. IT would have been great but we can't live in the past. If I could do it over I would have stayed and loved playin with my my cuz. Can't beat that whitwell bloodline. It runs deep. I' ready for a backyard football game soon also.
