Wanted to ask Coach T collectively, to pray for #11 Micah McClendon of Forrest, who was injured last night in the Moore Co game. 

Injury was related to the spine. Very serious. His surgery took hours, and is apparently finished. Not much is known at this time. 

We go at it here. We are all competitive.  But this is a kid's health and future. The McClendon's, collectively, are responsible for much good in Chapel Hill. 

Our kids are everything to us. Our own kids, as well as the kids in our communities.

Some might criticize, "You live vicariously thru your kids..." I disagree. We love our kids, so we push them to be  their best. We want them to be better than us. We want them to avoid the mistakes we made. Athletics, and especially football, teaches our young men how to win, how to push themselves, and how to be part of something bigger than themselves.  How to dig deeper than they thought they could. How to bounce back from defeat, and how to get better every day, even in victory.

A little about the McClendon family (my best effort, I don't guarantee 100% accuracy):  

- Tyler was a state wrestling champ 2013
- Zach was a runner up 2A Mr Football finalist in 2014
- Nick was a state wrestling champ 2019, 2020, played on two Region champ Rockets teams (2016, 2019), and was 2A Mr Football finalist in 2019

All 4 brothers have played football since youth league. Lots of great games, great wins, a few losses along the way, but all 4 boys very very special athletes.  

Micah is a sophomore, and some said he might be the most talented of them all. Lord God, please give him a chance to show us all that. 

Please. Take a moment today. Let's give this young man's injury to our Creator, and Savior, for healing. 

Thank You, 

The General

 

Great post. We had some back and forths this week on the forum that seem so ridiculous now. I have talked to several people in our community, and there have been prayers going up all day from Moore county. Prayers for Micah McClendon, his family, his teammates, and Chapel Hill. Please Lord bless them with your merciful grace.

    • You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.
    • He was a bruise but Aaron Dykes is HVA’s best RB ever.
    • I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
    • Dorian Eskridge had a great Junior year, highlighted by a great game to lead HVA to an upset win at OR that year. I think that was 2010. In 2011 OR won at HVA. OR had a real good QB that year l think. Dorian Eskridge had a great senior year also. He always played hard from the DCM videos l saw.
