I see nothing wrong with it if thats what he really really wants to do.BUT I think I would have to go over the reasons why he quit the first time.Are they going to present themselves again?AND is it going to bother him if he has to play JV being a Junior?<--------and the only reason I say that is because you made mention of it.Thats just my opinion.... :)

And if he can come to terms and deal with those reasons so they don't arise again, by all means. IMO the greatest game ever invented. Be sure he understands that to be able to play the game well, he has to be dedicated to the game. One sport where heart and dedication can achieve a lot, not just talent.

[size=12pt]Support him in anything he wants to do... just tell him if you start it... you finish it.... I support all my kids in all that they do, but we h ave a standing rule... if you start it you finish it... you may never do it again but your going to finish what you start.  don't let him get into a habit of quitting before the job is done.... Just my opinion[/size]

[/quote]Well I would say If his heart is in baseball and chances are hes not going to be able to play baseball because of football.IMO I would wonder if hes really 100% interested in football.Or is he just wanting to be a part of his high school football team.My question to him would be what do you want to do more?Its all bout the heart.

First thing I would do is yank him out of that school for not letting a kid play both.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life...

Some ADs need to have their heads examined.  :-\

I don't think he was saying that AD wouldn't let the kid play baseball.  Some schools do not have a baseball class.  This would mean that you stay in football offseason all year long, during the school day, and practice your other sports after school.

Some of the best college baseball coaches on the planet would tell your son to get in the football program if they want to play baseball at the college level.  A couple of years ago, Graham from Rice had a special done on his penchant for recruiting football/baseball players... he said he liked the toughness they brought to the diamond.  Now I don't think you have to play football to be tough, but the bottom line is a kid who has the stuff to play football is somebody who a lot of college coaches put their faith in due to the football experience.

I have heard that more than once. Football offseason is great for any sport. I bet $100 that any kid that just plays baseball is not in the weight room and doing agility stuff on their own.

If you think about, who cares if you ever step on the football field if your favorite sport is not football. Use that a way to stay in shape.

i do not agree with the other posters about forcing him to go back to football, i believe that he should be able to play whatever he wants, and it seems that he quit after the football season was over so i see no problem with that. but i do agree with coach when he says to finish what you start, it is a habit that everyone can apply to their lives.

      John Cornyn Will Be Primaried In 2026!

      I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure.

      WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
