Man I am sick and tired of folks including Miller Grove high in the conversations and accusation of recruiting and cheating….those other schools may do it, but ALL and I repeat ALL of those kids have been at MGHS since 9th grade, no transfers….none! H. Brooks came to the school in 10th grade moving in from New Orleans. So PLEASE haters get your facts straight…..
