the freshman is working hard he is attending training in pikeville and recently florida.you shouldn,t talk if you don,t know what you are saying.as far as speed .out of this world and if he don,t play varsity this year it will be fine with us.he will give a clinic on thursdays. thank you.oh ps if he not on the 10 fastest list why was he down belfry sideline watching te others run because he won the first heat and didn,t have to run no more. but like i said he will be happy to run on thursday nights. just like life SPEED KILLS:yikes:

First off, I want to tell you that you are going into this with the wrong mentality. Secondly, I was in no way knocking your child as I know who he is as well as you. I KNOW he has talent and ability as I've watched him play middle school ball BUT, being against a line (like stated in an earlier post) with 250lb and 300 lb kids, is totally different than playing in middle school.

It would be wise (As we all know, Coach makes all the decisions) to allow him time to grow and get his feel of the program before he comes up and is "labeled" with the rest of the team.

As for him "winning" the first heat... I wasn't there watching and to be honest, have NO clue as to what your time your talking about. My son who has played for a couple of years has been timed on his 40 too many times to count. It's part of it.... They could be timed 5 times today and none tomorrow... OR they could be timed every day for 2 weeks... It all depends on the coaching staff and Coach...

But, here is some advice to you and please do not take this wrong.... Go in with the right mentaility and know that your child is exactly that... a child.... He will be guided in the right direction and carrying a chip on your shoulder.... will get you no where fast...... Taking "constructive" tips will sometimes offend, but you have to be able to take them and not say something that you might wish you hadn't.
