WR Fields and RB Stephens no longer with Science Hill?

[AlumnI01]

Just heard from a buddy of mine that SH big-threat WR Tre Fields in longer with the team. He also said he heard RB Jamaal Stephens was also no longer playing. SH fans, is this true? What happened? As of a week ago, they were both on the team as far as I know. Both could be big losses for the Toppers, especially Fields.

 

FYI Toppers hammering Sullivan Central to start the 4th, 55-0.

Jamaal got kicked off, tre transferred to a private school somewhere for basketball

There was an article in today's JC Press about Fields leaving for another school to play basketball. It's frustrating for us fans to see these kids come up through the system, only to leave without seeing them at their full potential, but you can't fault the kid and his family for making what they believe is the best decision for his future.

 

That being said, from what I've read and heard about this, the way this school recruited Fields doesn't pass the smell test. Some of these programs need to remember that they are high schools, and not big time college athletics. The first and foremost priority should be the students education.

 

Aside from that, I wish the kid the best of luck and hope to see him play sometime in the future.

I'm not so sure Fields is more of a D1 prospect at WR than Basketball, but I guess time will tell. I don't even remember Stephens playing against Elizabethton, plus the Pierce kid is a very good runner with a lot of skill as the backup to Will.
