*** FIRST DAY OF FOOTBALL AND ALREADY PLAYERS ARE OVER-HEATING & BEING HAULED TO THE HOSPITAL .
WHY ? THE SEASON IS TOO LONG . DUE TO TOO MANY PLAYOFF GAMES .
IT TAKES FIVE GAMES TO WIN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP . THAT IS ANOTHER HALF-SEASON .
THAT MANY PLAYOFF GAMES MEANS YOU START GAMES IN MID AUGUST AND FINISH IN MID DECEMBER .
IT IS TOO HOT WHEN YOU START AND TOO COLD WHEN YOU FINISH .
SIMPLE SOLUTION - REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TEAMS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS .
MANY TEAMS WITH LOSING RECORDS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS .
THE ONLY REASON FOR THESE PLAYOFF GAMES IS TO MAKE MONEY .
BUT DUE TO POOR MATCH-UPS AND LONG TRAVEL COSTS THESE GAMES ARE BEGINNING TO LOSE MONEY .
THE SYSTEM WILL CHANGE QUICKLY WITH A KICKS IN THE POCKETBOOK .
*** SEE YOU NEXT TIME !

BOOK REPORT
*** YOU KNOW I READ A LOT . HERE IS A SHORT SUMMARY OF SOME OF MY RECENT READS
1. HELLHOUNDS ON HIS TRAIL
THE STORY OF THE PURSUIT OF JAMES EARL RAY . I AM CONVINCED THAT RAY KILLED MLK BUT STILL HAVE QUESTIONS .
SUCH AS MOTIVE , MONEY , & ASSISTANCE .
RAY TOOK MANY SECRETS TO HIS GRAVE .
2. NOT A FAN
THIS ASKES THE QUESTION , ARE YOU A FAN OF JESUS OR ARE YOU A FOLLOWER OF JESUS ?
THERE IS A HUGH DIFFERENCE WITH ETERNAL IMPLICATIONS .
A FAN IS AN ENTHUSEASTIC ADMIRER WHILE A FOLLOWER IS A COMMITTED DISCIPLE .
ARE YOU JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE DURING THE GOOD TIMES ?
OR , ARE YOU COMMITTED TO FOLLOW WHEN THE COST ARE HIGH ?
THE BOOK CALLS FOR SELF EXAMINATION TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A FAN OR A FOLLOWER .
3. JOE & MARILYN
THE STORY OF THE TROUBLED RELATIONSHIP OF JOE DIMAGGIO & MARILYN MONORE .
TWO SUPERSTARS TRY TO DEAL WITH THIER STARDOM TO MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK .
THEY LASTED NINE MONTHS BUT LOVED EACH OTHER UNTIL DEATH STILLED THIER HEARTS .
4. WHO IS THIS MAN ?
AN EXAMINATION OF JESUS DISPLAYING HOW DIFFERENT JESUS WAS AND IS .
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS WERE RADICAL THEN AND ARE RADICAL TODAY .
IF YOU FOLLOW JESUS ,YOU WILL MARCH TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER FAR OUT OF STEP WITH TODAY'S SOCIETY .
UNTIL NOW IN OUR CULTURE THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE COST TO FOLLOW JESUS BUT THAT DAY IS VANISHING .
SOON TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS WILL BE EXPENSIVE INDEED !
5. TWO I WANT TO READ
UNRIVALED - DETAILS THE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RIVALERY BETWEEN U-CONN & TENNESSEE
HOW TO THINK LIKE A CHAMPION - DEALS WITH THE MIND SET OF WINNERS , HOW TO REACH YOUR BEST
*** UNTIL THEN THE MEDINA MYSTIC SAYS SO-LONG

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** TIME TO PART
TSSAA WILL VOTE IN JULY TO DETERMINE IF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WILL PLAY IN POST-SEASON COMPETITION .
RIGHT NOW ABOUT 25 PRIVATE SCHOOLS COMPETE FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP .
THIS SHOULD NOT BE .
PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND SHOULD BE CLASSED APART AT PLAYOFF TIME .
PLAY WHOEVER YOU WISH IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT PLAY YOUR OWN KIND IN THE POST-SEASON .
THE PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE JUST TOO DIFFERENT TO EVER HAVE A LEVEL FIELD .
HOW MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS WOULD MILAN HAVE WON IF NOT FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS PLAYING IN THE PUBLIC LEAGUE ?
*** STARTED WITH ADAM & EVE
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS RECRUIT PLAYERS .
THE FIRST CASE OF RECRUITMENT WAS SATAN REELING IN ADAM & EVE IN THE GARDEN .
EVERY SINCE HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN PLAYING THERE HAS BEEN RECRUITING .
TOWNS WITH LARGE EMPLOYERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE PARENTS JOBS TO BRING KIDS INTO THIER SCHOOL DISTRICT .
SOMETIMES MINSTERS HAVE BEEN CALLED TO AREA CHURCHES BECAUSE THE SON WAS A PLAYER . EX - STEVE SPURRIOR .
SOMEPLACES A WEALTHY BOOSTER PROVIDES PLAYERS , FACILITES , & EVERYTHING ELSE . EX - BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL .
ON & ON
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THIS . I THINK A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY SCHOOL THEY WISH .
IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL WANTS TO LET A PLAYER ATTEND FREE OF CHARGE , THAT IS FINE WITH ME .
IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL CAN CONVINCE PAYING PARENTS THAT THIER KIDS WILL SIT WHILE THE RECRUITS PLAY , MORE POWER TO THEM
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PROGRAMS THEY WANT .
IF A TOWN WANTS TO BE A POWERHOUSE IN FOOTBALL AND IS WILLING TO COMMIT THE RESOURCES TO DO SO - GO FOR IT .
SCHOOLS WILL CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR .
LET PEOPLE CHOOSE SCHOOLS THAT EMPHASIZE THE THINGS THE PEOPLE WANT .WHETER IT BE , ACADEMICS , ARTS , OR ATHLETICS
OPEN ENROLLMENT CAN SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
IT WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO SEE THE TSSAA DECISION .
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
