I have been a participant on this blog this whole season listening to all the critics out there bashing our Cordia team. Throughout, people been saying that these kids are "orphans" and almost making them out to be criminals! This was very hurtful. Throughout the injunctions and the fight for innocent kids to just play ball! Well one of those innocent kids is my son, Joshua Ortiz. It really hurt him that he could not play ball most of the season. When he did, he only played maybe 6 games! If only some of you knew how he cried the day when the attorney informed him that he could play. Like I said before, Joshua came to the school because of his long friendship with LULU and the chance to play under Rod’s direction. My son enjoyed being in this community and I thank you for treating him with open arms. Now, I also need your help! We don’t have a clue where our boys will attend college. Cordia had a promising team but we have no real offers. We( us parents) are scrambling around for answers

Alice Lloyd College in Knott County would be a good place to start. Union College in Barbourville (Knox County) could also be a option.
