I want to give a giant shout out to the Haven Girls track team for winning their third straight State Title.

3-peating is awesome and rare. Congrats.

Does coach have to buy a ticket for the trophy when he goes to the movies?

If anything I'd think carrying that would make it all free

Man oh man ... Big James has come a loooooooooooong way! It does my heart good to see the progress he's made. Keep up the work big fella! keep it up! Can't nothing but good things come from the grind! You definitely got my attention!

 

I know a lot of folks may watch the link and not be impressed. That's because you all don't know how much work he's put in to get to this point.

I want to give a gigantic shout out and congratulations to Whitehaven's own, and now HEAD COACH of the Fairley Bulddogs, Gene Robinson. He was on the Jason and John Show on 92.2 back on May 12th along with Marlon Brown promoting his football camp, ... 'Do the Right Thing' which is in it's 5th year. 

 

Congrats coach Robinson ... we will miss you being on the sidelines working with the DBs. You deserve this!

UT-Martin got a steal! I wish Tech could have got him.

 

LeRoy must really likes MJ as I feel that he's the MAIN reason So. Miss offered dude, but he was a big play threat so he got some talent but D1, wow?!?!?

 

I just left MJ's twitter page where I see that he is headed to Mississippi Valley now instead of Southern Miss.

Let me add to the congrats on the new Fairley High School football team coaching staff. I was just perusing through the Whitehaven football twitter and ran across this information. It deems that when Gene Robinson became the HC at Fairley high school, he asked coach Banks (The WR coach at Whitehaven) to be his OC, and apparently, according to coach Banks twitter account, he accepted.

 

Congrats coach Banks on your 'come-up'! You've put in the hard work and it is paying off. Much success to you.
