He is not my son, but would be proud if he was. I took offense at the disparaging remarks cast his way, as I would my own son, yours or anyone elses on here. I'm gone till at least the season starts. Go Rebels!

Unbelievable. If you had bothered to read the post, I was replying to compuman, who most certainly did attack these young men without knowing any of the facts. I intend to find out why one of them quit this weekend. I did not imply the team was imploding. I asked what was going on. If it is imploding, my son is going down with it. I also never implied one was a "top player". I said he was fast with upside potential. Step away from the keyboard, settle down, learn to read and get the facts before posting, please.

Good decision making doesn't magically appear on your high school graduation. Some have it early and some never have it. To say the parents, many who have their own inner needs and motivations, always know best is just plain silly. I won't presume to label a child without knowing the motivations behind their decisions. I was just asking if anyone knew the motivations of the two players, who I thought had huge upside potential, in quitting the team and they were attacked. What the H$%#? High caliber people in their field, whatever that may be, quit things for thousands of reasons. Again, I will NOT presume to label them without knowing the facts.

You admit that you don't know the kid and obviously don't know why he quit. Why would you resort to childishly calling names without this information? Could it be you are afraid it may have something to do with the coaches. OH NO, can't be. I don't have this information either, but hope to this weekend. I do know who the kid is and he is no wimp and you definitely wouldn't have the guts to say what you did to his face. By the way, aren't you related to someone who recently quit TWO teams? Maybe you could give us a few thousand words explaining why he isn't as you describe above.

I just read through the whole Board Rules. Nowhere does it say you have to be full time optimistic, unrealistic and/or completely blind or get kicked. The one I spoke of, I KNOW had the fastest time in the 40 when the track coach (Hilton, I believe) timed them in June. Now if someone was missing that day and can beat this kids time, I'll edit my post and put an (a) before top. As was posted above there have been a number leave and not a one that I know of was weak-hearted, selfish or untalented. If you can't give a real answer why, butt out.

Just heard we lost 1 or 2 today. 1 was top 40 time, # for # strong, tough dude. Are we Imploding. Got to wonder what's happening???????????

One family 3/4 of a mile down Kendricks request annexation. The city is annexing Kendricks Rd. only, no properties, to get to this home. They will grab up the hundreds of homes they bypassed soon. That's how they roll. Colonial Hts. is soon to be no more. How's Phillip's Heights grab ya.

Saw a Times News letter to the editor about the lack of a coach at Central. Anybody know anything about this? Thought they had one, but have heard a South coach may be heading that way???????????

Hey C'man. Don't know about that win/win deal. Jordan for HC............................ hmmmm. Let's see how he handles his duties and more importantly the players this year. I don't see it.........Sorry.

Heard the guys got their max weights and 40 times this week? Any news?

I keep hearing about observing practices. How the heck do you do that at South? QB.....Curt had Davenport....Davenport had St. Clair.....St. Clair had Hayden......Hayden has_______________________?

Ya better watch out there pilgrim. Hmmmmm, hope not but could be but maybe probably not.

Grabbing the Flag. http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9023171 I personally think in some cases that flag is just beautiful. Heard they were trying to come up with a new redneck flag, but will it fit on a pickup? A suggestion:

Extremely disappointed I couldn't get to Betsytown. How was the playcalling? Pass/run? I know they took it to South last year and both had pretty good seasons.
