Guest Ranger83 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 from a Baytown Sun article: Across-the-bridge neighbor La Porte is the Ganders’ first opponent for 2009 and reports are they have a weapon unavailable to them for last week’s lightning shortened 7-7 tie with Sterling – senior running back Kendrick Perkins. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound basher, who last year rushed for 25 touchdowns and nearly 2,000 yards in leading the Bulldogs to an 8-5 season, had expressed an intent to concentrate on baseball as a senior and was not on La Porte’s roster last week. Does anyone else have a problem with this? I love to win, but when do you draw the line with these kids? I would have told him NO!
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 i say let the kids decide what sport they wanna play
Guest Ranger83 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 i say let the kids decide what sport they wanna play I agree. However, I would not allow him to miss 2 a days, weeks of practice and the 1st game because he was going to focus on baseball.

No. He had decided NOT to play football this year to focus on baseball. Now, he wants (or his coach has asked him) to play football again. He has agreed and will play tonight. I would not have asked him or let him come back.

Not good, but it's the old Jimmy Johnson rule when he coached the Cowboys. Everyone has rules except, Emmitt, Troy and Michael.

Millions are at stake vs a district playoff spot. Also, every pro team has exceptions. Not just Jimmy...
baseballdream Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 I think that's pretty bad to say no then yes BAD Chemistry for teammates. So if they do bad will he still play or just quit. Football is a game of commentment and TEAM unity. BAD CALL
