Coming soon to a school near you - Hey it's the PLAYOFFS.

Nine Lehigh BB players apparently cut a similar track and posted it on Facebook, that went over about as well as the 7th Floor Crew Music Video did for my Canes in 05 (They sucked on the football field that year but they could harmonize really well).

Anyway the Lehigh-9 and their coach got suspendedl missed a district tournament game the other night (they won without them, so these may be mostly scrubs) then the lawyers came in. Today the district changed its policy a bit:


District: Suspended Lehigh players eligible next week

  • ..."The nine players had each received a five-day school suspension and were banned from athletics for the remainder of the school year. But the district said Thursday afternoon that the players will be eligible to play upon their return to school on Monday -- meaning they can play in a playoff basketball game set for next Thursday. They will not play in a playoff game this Friday night.

    The lawyer hired by the families, Joe North, has scheduled a 5 p.m. press conference.

    On Wednesday, the school's principal, Jackie Corey, made the decision to suspend the boys from athletics for the remainder of the year. They also received a five-day suspension from school, and the team's head coach, Dawn McNew, was temporarily suspended."

Cory,the Govt school system, aka public schools, are all part of the " Enemy Within" as Michael Savage wrote about... Parents today feel the school can do their job,nobody cares and the school "LEADERS" are abject cowards !!!! Their ability to discipline out of control students no longer exists.. Letting things go has led to everything will go.............and education has left our schools. Florida is among the worst....
 
The schools almost had to back down. Do you want them to spend thousands of dollars on lawyers to defend their decision or spend it in the classroom? It's just a shame!
 
James Thomson (DeLand, Gainesville) has a brother John. a legend. He was qb my soph year. the school that won our battle of the bands had a hit song called "i wanna be john thomson". it was great. legendary

carry on
