You are right and I am sure he will finish his education, you are right again it is a tragedy!

Telling me to be quiet is a true admission of guilt, we are not talking about phyiscial harm to animals or humans it was something for lunch .35 bashing and making fun of must be your life . You must be a young man so keep this in mind the next time 35 cents becomes a issue in your life.

I GUESS EVERYONE IS HAPPY!!!!!! NOW ZAC CORDELL IS OFF OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM. WHO CARES IF WAS JUST HIS SENIOR YEAR AND ALL THE HOURS SPENT ON THE PRACTICE FIELD AND TRAVEL FROM PLACE TO TRY TO PLEASE SOME COACH AND THE HAVE FANS CHEERING HIM AND THE TEAM ON SO LITTLE REWARD FOR SO MUCH WORK. BUT WHEN ZAC NEEDED THAT CHEERING ON HE GOT A BACK TURNED TO HIM . FINNALY ! HIS JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEAR BOY WON'T THAT BE GREAT. MOVING FROM MBA A POWER HOUSE THAT BRINGS PLAYERS IN FROM EVERYWHERE AND MOVING TO A NEW AND FANTISTIC INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL AND TRY TO MAKE THAT TEAM AND FINISH OUT HIS HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. WELL ! A LITTLE GRAY HEADED CAFETERIA LADY AS I REMEMBER THEM SAID NO TO A 35 CENT HAMBURGER AND FORCED HIM TO MAKE A WRONG DICISION TO GO AHEAD AND EAT ONE BECAUSE OF PRACTICE COMING IN THE AFTERNOON THAT WAS THE START OF IT ALL. MADE SUCH AN IMPACT A TEACHER MADE HER CLASS WRITE A ESSAY ON THE STORY!!! WELL ALSO SOME PARENTS THAT WERE JEALIOUS OF A TALENTED PLAYER COMING IN AND TAKING THEIR SON'S PLAYNG TIME. A PRINICIPLE , COACH, PARENTS, CAFETERIA WORKER, TURNED THIER BACK !!NO CHEERING FOR ZAC CORDELL AND THE TEAM! YES TEAM THEY SUFFERED TOO. A BIG LOSS TURNED THINGS AROUND FOR THEM AND THEY COULD NOT RECOVER. THIS TIME CHEERING COULD HAVE BEEN BIG HELP!!!!!! ZAC NEEDED ENVOURAGEMENT BUT I GUESS A THIEF IS A THIEF ! KICK HIM OFF THE TEAM!!!! I READ ON THIS BOARD - SCHOOL FROM SCHOOL I HEARD - HIS DADDY DONE THIS AND THAT ! I READ !!! YES HIS DAD HAS DONE IT HE LOST THOUSANDS ON A HOUSE AND DISRUPPED HIS FAMILY TO MOVE INTO A SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR HIS SON TO FINISH OUT HIS LAST 2 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE A CHANCE TO PLAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL. BUT WAS HE CHEERED ON FOR BRINGING A VERY TALENTED PLAYER TO INDENDPENCE NO HE WAS NOT EVEN SPOKEN TO BY THE OTHER PARENTS BUT THEY YELLED OUT NEGITIVE COMENTS WHERE HE COULD HEAR IN THE STANDS BUT HE TOOK IT AND WENT ON. HE WAS THERE FOR ZAC AND HE WAS ONE OF A FEW THAT CHEERED ZAC ON . YEA A FAMILY THAT HAS SPENT MANY HOURS, MONEY, TO SEE THIER KID PLAY HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.!!!! JEALIOUS PARENTS THINK IF YOU HAVE REALLY MADE THAT SACAFICE FOR YOUR KID THAT STANDS ON THE SIDELINE. THE UNDERGROUND TEAM SAW VICTORY THIS WEEK WHEN ZAC CORDELL FINALLY COULD NOT TAKE ANY MORE AND LEFT INDENDEPENCE HE IS ONLY A 19 YEAR OLD KID THAT WANTED TO PLAY BALL MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD A PERFECT KID NO ! NOW HE IS OUT GETTING JOB'S DURING THE DAY AND A 2ND JOB AT NIGHT OH! WHAT ABOUT GRADUATION? THE PRESSURE THIS KID HAS HAD THE LAST 2 YEARS GED SOUNDS REAL EXCITING TO HIM. EVERYONE THAT HAS SAID ANYTHING NEGITIVE AGAINIST HIM AND HIS FAMILY SHOULD RETHINK YOUR THOUGHTS I AM JUST A OUTSIDER THAT CAME TO WATCH HIM PLAY LAST YEAR AND WAS ANIOUS TO WATCH THE TEAM GO FAR THIS YEAR BUT THAT IS HISTORY FOR ME I HOPE THE TEAM GOES UNDEFEATED. I AM ONE THAT CHEERS FOR THE TEAM I FOLLOW!!! MY WIFE AND I HAVE 5 CHILDREN, SOME THAT EXCELLED IN SPORTS AND SOME THAT DID NOT BUT WE ALLWAYS CHEERED THEM ON NO MATTER WHAT. THIS BOARD IS GREAT AND I HOPE THEY ALLOW THIS LETTER TO GO OUT TO EVERYONE THAT IS ENVOLVED AND EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO READ THIS AND PREPARE THIER SON OR DAUGHTER FOR WHAT IS COMING OUT THERE AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SPORTS OF HIGH SCHOOL. THIS BOARD COULD HAVE CHEERED ZAC ON WHEN HE NEEDED IT BUT IT FAILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COULD HAVED SAVED A GOOD PLAYER!!!! I DO SAY GOOD LUCK TO INDY! AND THAT I MYSELF AM STILL CHEERING ZAC CORDELL ON BECAUSE HE WILL NEED IT DURING HIS EARLY START IN LIFE. I AM SENDING THIS ANYWAY I HOPE YOU ARE NOT CHECING GRAMMER OR SPELLING BUT JUST LISTEM TO WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO A GREAT LITTLE KID BUT IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD LIFE GOES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know that is a good thought!!!!!!!! Just wanted to give the administration something to think about next time a school sport is envoled.

No credit to the admin. No common sence used here, This team and coaches have worked hard for the school and the football program has been great this year they did not derserve the problems this has caused. The Cordell mistake should have stayed between him and the school ! What has happened to writing on the black board 100 times I WILL NOT TAKE HAMBERGERS WITH OUT PAYING EVER AGAIN! I guess they have forgotten old school

What about the punishment !!!! For taking a hamburger??? I do not understand punishing The Coaching staff, the players, and the band that has worked so hard to have a great season this year. Maybe the principal forgot about the punishment of 100 degree days at practice, and the money that the sport is bringing the school wHich will buy alot of hamburgers. Was it wrong to take food from the lunch room YES and also STUPID! I myself broke the law this week doing 30 in a 20 and not wearing my seat belt ! The officer said I am going to give you a courtesy warning no tickets!!! Cordell should have been punished directly to effect him ONLY! hE COMMITTEDTHE CRIME!!!!!

I was at the game and got to see one of the best coached games I have seen in a long time. Franklin came to Indy with a great plan and it worked the first half they worked hard and stop the passing game EXCEPT the last drive CORDELL used his passing ability and good recievers to score just before the half, With a good offenceive line it really gave CORDELL a chance to show his talent. A Junior, only 4 HS starts, you have got to admit he has done outstanding for Indy. I do not know what the coach at Indy said to those players at halftime but he should put it in a book and sell it. All Franklin could do is watch a different tean come on the field the 2nd half. They just got whipped that is all you can say. Who was the players of the Game ? Every last one of the Indy players on the field and the sideline cheering them on, The fans, they even clapped for Franklin as they left the field many told them good game. The Coaches, smart coaching won this game Benchs not a factor! Not many fans or players sat down the 2nd half Just remember INDY when you are a winner their are allways someone out there that is jealous and will talk bad about you. :
