Ok guys, see if you can top this. This comes under the heading of what else can go wrong!
A few months ago I shared with you that our returning QB announced he was heading to one of the big public schools in town. He said they hadn't "recruited" him, but since then the guy who was the head coach at that school was named head coach at a private school (not in our classification) in the area. Guess what? The kid is now enrolled at that school!
But that's NOT what this post is about. We had a good spring and the new QB played very well. Now, this morning, my senior LB/TE (one of the two true studs we have on our team) comes in and says he's going to attend a public school here in town. He said he it was a tough decision and he wanted me to hear it from him - also thanked me for "all I had done for him." I thanked him for coming in, we talked about his growth, and then I wished him well and told him to keep us posted. All very cordial - he IS a pretty good kid, at times could be a nucklehead but never a jerk - and then he was gone.
I think he's probably thinking (wrongly) that he'll get more exposure at the public school. I also think it might be related to 2 of our basketball players, who don't play football, getting suspended for the year for drinking - he plays basketball to.
I've been doing this long enough to know that now is the time to pick up the other 27 guys on our varsity and be grateful for the fact that they all WANT to be at our school, and I know in the long run that we are going to be ok... but I gotta tell ya... right now, at this moment, LIFE SUCKS!
