THAT TIME OF YEAR

***
     FALL IS COMING FAST . THE DAYS ARE GETTING CRISP & THE NIGHTS ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE A CHILL . THE SEASON IS CHANGING & TIME MARCHES ON .

 THIS WEEK IS THE START OF YEAR THREE OF MY BATTLE WITH CANCER . I AM SO GRATEFUL THE LORD ALLOWED ME TO HAVE SOME EXTRA TIME . YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG YOU CAN HOLD OFF THE DEADLY FOE SO YOU WANT TO MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT . CANCER IS RELENTLESS ON THE ATTACK THE WAY THE MEDINA WRECKING CREW WAS IN THE DAYS OF OLD .

I HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO REACH BACK INTO THE PAST & TOUCH BASE WITH PEOPLE FROM LONG AGO . JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM & HOW THEY ARE DOING.

THERE ARE PEOPLE YOU TRAVEL WITH ON LIFE'S HIGHWAY, THEN THE ROAD FORKS & YOU GO YOUR SEPARATE WAYS . SOMETIMES YOU WONDER WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN .

 THAT TIME IN THE CHEMO ROOM WILL CHANGE YOUR OUT - LOOK AND SHAKE UP YOUR VALUES .  

***
     WE ARE ALMOST HALFWAY INTO THE FOOTBALL SEASON . THERE ARE SIX ,COUNT THEM SIX  UNBEATEN TEAMS IN THE SEC .

 THIS WON'T LAST LONG . IT THE NEXT FEW WEEKS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THESE TEAMS WILL FALL BY THE WAYSIDE . ONLY ONE,MAYBE NONE OF THESE TEAMS WILL COMPLETE THE PATH .

 CAROLINA , GEORGIA, & BAMA LOOK THE BEST TO ME  . LSU OR FLORIDA ONE WILL FALL BEFORE THE EAGLE FLIES . STATE BETTER SING IN THE SUNSHINE WHILE THEY CAN  . T.R. & HUMPTY DAN ARE HEADED INTO SOME SHOOTOUTS WITHOUT MAX FIREPOWER .

     SOME ADVICE TO COACHES . DON'T COACH SO MUCH ! GET YOUR BUCKEROOS LINED - UP IN SIMPLE SCHEMES & LET THEM PLAY .

SOUTH PANOLA CASE - IN  POINT . THE LESS LANCE POUGE  COACHES THE BETTER THE TIGERS PLAY . JUST ASK HARVARD HIGH { OLIVE BRANCH} ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PANOLA KEEPS IT SIMPLE .

***
     I HAVE A QUESTION FOR HARVARD HIGH  { OLIVE BRANCH } . THE HUGE NUMBER OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS TRANSFERRING TO OLIVE BRANCH FOR THE WONDERFUL EDUCATION . WHY ARE THOSE PLAYERS WHO ARE PUTTING ACADEMICS AHEAD OF FOOTBALL NOT TRANSFERRING TO LEWISBURG ?

 LEWISBURG HAS 2/3 THE ENROLLMENT OF HARVARD HIGH  BUT THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS .

 ALSO DEAN SAMSEL , WHY DIDN'T THE PLAYERS WHO TRANSFERRED TO OLIVE BRANCH FOR THE ACADEMICS  LEAVE OLIVE BRANCH WHEN THEY COULD NOT PLAY BALL ?

 YOU SAID IT WASN'T ABOUT FOOTBALL . OH DEAN SAMSEL ARE YOUR PANTS ON FIRE ?

UNTIL NEXT TIME  , WILL HARVARD HIGH BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE   SUPERIOR ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITY TO OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE MEMPHIS  METRO
 AREA ?
