NEWTON, it’s my hometown, alma mater, and my son plays for Monroe, as for last year, Monroe could haveasily been 8-2,losing in 2ot,1 last play of game, aand a couple of bad breaks, also for the last 2 years, Monroe was a AAA school playing in AAAA, missed out on being in AAA by 12 students. Now NEWTON, does that answer your question. I have one for you, when is the last time you attended or supported your local high school ??????

Everybody always talking about Stephenson. They have athletes.. but no coaching.. The seem to put kids in school but no State titles? Let me ask you superior thinking folks. Is it important to get gets in school or win State Championships? Ask all your past State champions on those teams how many of them qualified for college. After high school there career was done whereas, Stephenson athletes continued your (Free Scholarship)education in college.. So for all you good ole boys talking about why Stephenson haven’t won just check the enrollment of there athletes who qualifiy for school and by the way.. CHECK OUT THE SCOUTS THAT COME BY THERE SCHOOL ON A YEAR TO YEAR BASES TO LOOK FOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS. (OVER 20 D-1 SCOUTS)

@ Qb Fan… What the hell are you talking about? Are you coaching or a Monday Morning QB? Do you coach? Or have you ever played a down of football? I always say don’t HATE.. CONGRADULATE. If you can do better apply for the head coaching job get your staff together and win some games.. Until then Stay on the sidelines, or in the stands.. buy some popcorn and watch the game. Otherwise I suggest COACH A TEAM!

GTax,
Stop right there, the lies just continue to be extended. If you don’t know the truth, just shut the he// up! Nicks going to UGA and he will become the best QB to ever stand behind center there. Believe It!! Ya’ll just adding fuel to the fire!! Oh! and every team Wilcox play’s… will….feel…the…wrath!!

Aaron Wimberly South Gwinnett. High School version of Chris Johnson. Explosive speed and talent. Definitely a top 11 pick. Probably the top 1 or 2 running backs in state of Georgia. Plays in one of the toughest regions in state of Georgia. Best player many do not know about.

What about that receiver from Swainsboro(#2), LynQuez Blair. He is the best returning WR in the State AA.

Only ONE of these kids are white and my guess is from your list only ONE will qualify academically?
Funny isn’t it?

Why would anyone lock in with Tennessee? Those guys are canceling games with UNC, dodging USC, and they will likely be on probation for a while thanks to that idiot, Kiffin. It is going to be a long four years in Knoxville.

No Bob Horner had a big fro,
You are a MORON as he is correct! Black kids are always given these opportunities and white kids that do excel in the classroom are passed over for scholarships etc, and yet you look into the stands and see who is spending the $$ for season tickets and who supports the booster program? He gets it Sir, You Don’t!
Go back to your PC hole to live.
