Henry County Patriots 2012

[RedSwarm10]

Congratulations to the signees. UTM got a steal with Ray.

 

Agreed. I personally thought he could be a pretty good Conference USA or Sun Belt player. Saying that, I think he'll be a stand out in the OVC.

Congrats to Cook! Where did LaQuan McFerren end up signing?

[HighLife]

That is a heck of alot of kids. Congrats to all of them. It isn't easy securing college scholarships

I agree......in spite of his dad.

Now now, that is kind of a low blow. I am aware of some of his dad's "behavior" but I guarantee it was straight from his heart and love for his kid. I was a teammate of his dad most of my life and he was probably the most intense and competitive guy I've ever met(arguably the best point guard the school has had in decades). Those of us who played understand how hard it is to "turn that off" especially when our child is on the field or court. I am not condoning his decisions to be inappropriate, but I'm sure Evian would find your comment offensive and he don't deserve that during his time to celebrate.

Evian is a fine young man, but I saw his dad yelling at a young man from Clarksville that is going to Kentucky (Poythress) who appears to be extremely mild mannered. Poythress never showed any emotion despite having several calls go against him. Poythress questioned 1 call late in the 3rd quarter and Cook's dad yelled "take his scholarship away" at least 25 times, to the point of the opposing crowd getting involved and Poythress looking at him like he was crazy. I apologized afterward to this young man with a bright future about the ignorance of this man. I personally think he should not be allowed to any sporting event.

 

And yes, despite his fathers actions, Evian IS a fine young man. I am NOT in any way going to sugar coat something that every HC fan that attends games understands. HE IS NUTS AND SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE GYM!

WOW! Sorry, I hadnt heard about this incident, and am aware this isnt his first one. Im sure Mr Poteete is aware of this and will handle it. Parents are a coach's worst nightmare often too many times.

I heard HC added dresden v.s. trenton to their jamobree this year, any truth? if so, and if they keep the teams from last year this will be THE PREMIERE jamboree in west tn.

Do you have any idea how many nutcase fans/parents have come through HC over the years? I agree with you that this man's actions were in no way acceptable by any means, but calling out one particular player's parents on a public message board that thousands of people from across the state read every day is in poor taste.

 

Going to the AD or whomever would serve the best purpose. But for the sake of the young man (Cook), that's something I'd leave off the message boards. Just my two cents.

Yep, if it wasn't for crazy parents, we would have nobody in stands in dresden!
