Kevin, if you read this stuff, whatever your reason:football @ the next level, burn out, senioritis, or whatever, you're still one of my favorite players in any sport and I support you. I hate it that you will have to suffer the indignities of some small minds, but each day the sun will come up today & life will go on. If you play baseball, I wish you success (where ever Coach Howard plays you) and I hope it's fun!(actually I hope it's one of the very best times of your life !)

I echo your thoughts exactly Snake. This is just a terrible thing. A lot of people that post on these message boards should be a little more careful in what they post. I am sure that Kevin has read a lot of junk on here where he has gotten criticized and lot of blame has unjustly fallen on his shoulders. People have feelings and some people have just been outright cruel. Kevin is a very good basketball player, but he has very quietly let the ego maniacs have their day in the sun and let them receive the glory and let them score their precious points that is so important to them and just went out everyday and do his job on the basketball floor to the best of his ability. In fact most of the blame for a lot of Paintsville's inconsistencies can directly be pointed at some of the selfish me first attitudes by most of the Tiger starters, not just one of them. Sorry if that offends some of you people but that is just the plain truth. I have never seen more selfish egos and jealousy on one team in all my life.This just burns me up, and I feel that what I am saying needs to be said.

Good luck to you Kevin and the very best wishes in whatever you do. I know you have had a lot to overcome and deal with, and I know that you have given the very best effort that you poosibly can.

I know that I sound harsh, but this upsets me very very much. The Paintsville High School basketball team will miss Kevin Williams more than they can ever realize. It's a sad sad day at Paintsville High School in my opinion. To me the whole season is now a total loss. I dont care how many more games that we win, it just dont mean much to me right now.
