What's Up With the Holdouts?

[Deleted]

A grand total of 85 young men reported Wednesday afternoon programwide, about 35 of them juniors and seniors. A good number of proven varsity players and serious challengers for playing time — especially at running back, linebacker and the lines — practiced and were the focus of the coaching staff moreso than the noticeable handful of last year's juniors who chose not to don the Red and White this fall.

"It's unfortunate that kids don't come out, especially kids that are seniors," Melody said. "But it's really out of our control, and we're just excited with the guys we have out here who worked hard throughout the year and put in the time. We have a good group who's done that and sacrificed ... and they've had a really good summer and first practice today."

This school's football team can't afford to lose anybody...what's up?

No more like the Kids that refused to Suit up are the ones that have been in the Trenches for Years giving their all in the Red and White and are TIRED of seeing Players all because of WHO THEIR PARENTS ARE getting to Start. Trust me in this town it is NOT how GOOD YOU ARE IT IS HOW MUCH MONEY YOUR PARENTS GIVE TO THE SHS BOOSTER FUND that determine IF YOU EVER SEE THE FIELD. Look no Further than the Kid that his Parents moved to Morris as he was told he was NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO RIDE THE BENCH HERE AT SHS what did he do only take MHS almost to the State Title. Why was he not the Starter his LAST NAME.
