Grundy County in the News

[Pumpkin007]

Local radio news says, these boys got suspended for 10days after fall break. After that they will be homebound schooled like a bad sick kid would be. What happened to expelling them from school? Am I missing something? The kids from Whitwell got expelled for hitting a kid on the butt with a belt.

It's a bad situation all the way around. But to cancel the season would have been wrong for the 25 or so other kids who had no part in this, not to mention the seniors! I highly doubt the victim would want his teammates to miss their games, I know I wouldn't want that if it happened to me.

Yes they were 2 of the 4 that had their 2 game suspensions rescinded.     They also were not even on campus at the time this incident occurred.

Well not really, it’s Grundy.

I just wanted to say great game to the Indians. They played hard and with class as always. I’m really proud of 17 or 18 players that took the field down 6 starters and all the mess they’ve had to deal with. I’ve been apart of that program a while and a lot of stuff being said is totally false. Some of it is true, but my whole problem with this is I believe if the adult who told them they could show up early was present with them and this would not have happened. It’s not like this is a first time thing. Everyone knows the gym side door and the field house back door is unlocked so kids can go in out. With that many cameras you will not enter school grounds without someone knowing. My problem with the coach and principal is they knew  about it, but when it was time to man up they through those kids under a bus. When one of my family members asked the principal why nobody was suspended in basketball when a kid took a plastic bat and beat a kid down not one person was disciplined, but she said this is different. Then she keeps telling my son to tell what he knows that he’s not the only kid being questioned so stop withholding information. Only thing he did was testify to what he saw. He didn’t see anything because hewasn’t there. These kids talk to me because I don’t gripe and pass judgment on them and they are all hurt because they thought the coach would never let them burn. People want to criticize for playing the season out but two of the kids pushing for that were my sons. They said we’ve worked our butt off in the classroom and field and I wanna finish what I started. Everyone shouldn’t be punished for a select few and I agree, because if most kids are doing the right thing and still get punished then they’ll stop caring wondering why bother.

I’m not talking about the charges because If you mute it and watch it’s kids being stupid. I believe kids should be punished but not  crucified because all the past nonsense and now people want blood. I read that those kids are not showing any remorse. They don’t feel they did anything wrong besides clowning on a friend the went to eat with right after and at the movies together the week before. They person who posted the broom stick deal should be ashamed. That 15 year old child doesn’t want that to be the reason we know his name not this. It’s a bad situation and I hope everything works out for the kids and families involved.

Yes, we have problems like everyone else. The biggest of which is our town leadership and police department at the moment. They can't seem to keep anyone in the position.
