I am not condoning what the kid did, but there should be room for second chances. I played football for White House from 98-01, and had something similiar happen to myself. I had been out partying one weekend my junior year after a football game with some people I should not have, and did some things I should not have and I got caught. Well that Monday morning Coach Porter called me into his office and let me know he knew what had happened and that I should explain myself. Well I told him the truth about everything. I mean about drugs, drinking, etc. I had started on the football team since my sophomore season and I also played a important role on the football team as far as leadership. More than anything football played an important role in my life. To be honest it was the reason I kept my grades up and up until that point tried to stay out of trouble. Anyways he said that he would let me know his decision after practice whether I could stay part of the football team or not. I met with him and he said he would give me a second chance under a couple of circumstances. 1. Do not continue hanging out with the people I had been hanging out with. 2. I would be suspended for one game. 3. I would have to meet every morning at 5:30 A.M. and do conditioning. He said that if I would do those things I could get a second chance. If anyone of those things were broken then I was gone. It was the best thing that could have happen to me. I straighted my life up and finished playing at WH and enjoyed every minute of it. Not only that if I would have just been kicked off the team, then there is no telling what would have happened to me. I could have went down the wrong path with no guidance. Luckily Coach Porter believed in second chances. I do believe this is a case by case scenario though. Brian may have already have had his second chance and if that is the case it is understandable.
