i wasnt saying that they forgot him on purpose, its like they just didnt care and didnt even think to inform that a starter is out for the rest of the season. but i know sometime you dont think of things on spur of the moments.
and for thinking coaches wouldnt let kids start, based on who they are or how good of friends they are with the coaches, well u r just crazy lol Harlan ind. is all about who you are and how much money you have, and kids do get treated different on the football team there, based upon who ur parents are and if youre a suck up to the coach.

I have been reading this website for two years. I have read posts that I wanted to reply to, but none enough that I would actually sign up in order to do so. This one...couldn't let it go. This entire thread regarding Ryan and Harlan Independent is malicious and beyond ridiculous. Ryan is a valued member of the team and school. The coaches and many people went to see Demarcus because he was carted off the field in an AMBULANCE. There have unfortunately been many injured players on the Harlan roster this season. I dare say that Demarcus was the only one that the coaches and parents went to the hospital with. Not because they don't care, but because people try to respect people's privacy and assume that people will care enough to share information with the staff. As for kids at Harlan being all about money and who you know...did you know that the student population at Harlan has a higher percentage of kids who qualify for reduced and free lunch than most county schools? Did you know that the poverty level is higher for many of the families whose children attend HISD than many of the county schools? I assume not, or you wouldn't be so carelessly throwing statements around attacking people who you obviously know little to nothing about.
As for recruiting...GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!
I am for all kids of Harlan County. I want them all to succeed so that they hopefully can grow to have more open minds than the generations before them. Red and Black/ Green and White...who really cares??? One team wins, we all win. This is a personal attack against people's character and treatment of children and athletes. Honestly, wouldn't you be better served to actually go speak to the coaches about the issue? By the way...back to the matter at hand....Harlan by 2 TDS, and I am sure Ryan will be just as happy as the rest of the team to celebrate the victory.
