A/AA boys state running events

[BHSfootball]

Can anyone say out of shape?

[TrentDilfer?]

I talk to Vaughn last week and he told me that he really didn't like the 200 and this little stuff u r talkin about to get a better lane do u really know what u r talkin about? If u really talk 2 Vaughn he will tell u st8 up that he doesn't like the 200 at all. The 100 is his best event.

Oh, that's good. Even though he can help his team in state, he was too selfish to actually try just because he didn't like it. What a team guy.

How do u know that he wasn't tryin? Vaughn hasn't ran a good 200 since last season anywayz. Give the guy some slake and get off his back about it how bout that!!! Do u really want to know why he didn't make it n the 200 cause he actually wants 2 go 2 his graduation that night and if he ran the 200 he wouldn't make it.

First, anyone who knows James personally knows that he is ANYTHING but selfish.

 

Second, he understands the qualifying system quite well. He is a student of track and field and knows a great deal about it. He was well aware that only the top finisher in each sectional heat was guaranteed to qualify.

 

Third, he's running with a very painful knee injury. Give him credit for toughing it out so he could help Page take a shot at the state championship.

 

Fourth, if he HAD qualified for the 200m, he probably wouldn't have been able to run it anyway. His parents are insistent that he go to his graduation that night after the 4 x 200m relay.

 

Fifth, BHSFootball doesn't even know James. He is hardly out of shape. If his knee were 100%, he could run a 21.9 with no problem. But since the knee injury, his times have instantly dropped to 23.9 to 24.2 and he's never been faster than that since the injury. Maybe you should change your name to BS Football. That would be more apropos (if you even know what that means).

 

Finally, if you want to talk bad about somebody, talk about LaRay Foote. James may have been runner-up in the 200m last year, but LaRay was the gold medalist, and he's not running either because of a knee injury. All he's doing is long jump, and the loss of his other points could cost Mitchell the state title. Do you call that selfish? Or maybe just trying to keep from injuring his knee even worse?

 

If you don't know the full details about a situation, don't talk about it like you're an expert on it.

Peterw,

 

Take the advice you are giving. You do not know why Fotte is not running. He was hurt prior to the regional and could not qualify for the sectional. It was my choice for him not to run but his he wanted to compete. His parents also pushed the issue. He wanted to give his team a chance to win the state. So he is competing in the long jump and the 4x1. He is a team player.

I'll be seeing all of you (hopefully) tomorrow through Friday at MTSU. Come talk if you want.

this is a very different situation because leray foote has already signed with kentucky to play football and i think the coach at uk would probably have a heart attack if he saw leray foote trying to run on a bad knee. look what happened to lemarcus coker. the bottom line is when u have a full ride to play football at an sec school there is no reason to risk further injury

u never know what could happen. the winner could be someone u dont expect

[crazydave]

The meet will be won be either Page, Mitchell, or maybe even FRA. FRA's best shot is beating Page in the distance events. If they don't do that it will be extremely tough. Page and Mitchell will be fighting it out between eachother in what will be a very very tight meet. It should be exciting!
