And why IVS? Why not Conotton Valley? You don't think the CV school board would have found a way to accommodate him? IVS had the surrounding talent. If you don't think the IVS school board knew hiring Charlie put his son on the roster as well, that would be ignorant.

Outside of my father, Coach Reese and the sweltering summers at Huggins camp had the greatest impact on my work ethic I have today as an adult. The only problem I ever had with Charlie is those poosh ups he made us do in the hot sun because the city folk would not shut up while he was giving us wise instruction. I am just trying to look at both situations realistically.

This kids father is not getting a head coaching job or any other job that I've heard of so how does this compare to Huggins?

These should be very interesting, especially the first one.

Hiland vs. Garaway is often sold out prior to game time, but I can't think of any other game where i've seen that in the IVC. But, these Burg/Hawk games will have a lot of people wanting to see them, for sure.

The other thing that stuck out to me in the article was coach Miller saying this issue has not been discussed by his team. I find that hard to believe. A coach has to mentally, emotionally, and physically prepare his team for the season and each game. The mental and emotional aspects of this game will be big and can't be glossed over by either coach. Ignoring this situation like it never happened when it comes to your team does not make sense.
