Taking two years out of a kid's high school athletic career is a life sentence for an adolescent.

It seems to be all about protecting coaches and not about helping kids.

We today need to take a leap of faith that if we make this decision today, we're going to push kids to do things that maybe right now some kids don't think they can do. They've been told all their lives they can't do it, and they have teachers who don't believe they can do it.

Clyde just wanted to finish school. He wasn't trying to make a political statement.

I didn't want to do spring workouts when I could concentrate on school. I'm still going to work out a little bit.

That catch has definitely been the highlight of my high school career so far.
