Well Krazy, I think Scott proved you wrong, but what does any of this have to do with the overrated high school sports?

WXII Doesnot now nor ever has had any SCOTT LOGAN reporting there. So cut thecrap.

Get rid of the school sports programs and teach the little rug rats to read

Another point we halfway agree on, Snot. It should not get a feller what it does before graduation either IMO.

What does the skill of being able to throw a ball get you after graduation, backwash?

If you have the "skills" you don't need the grades. Didn't you watch Facing the Giants, Dex? Who the snot are them last fellers you know?

What does a 1A high school state championship get someone in life? Can they get free coffee refills at Hardee's?

The only way to fix local mentality of prioritizing useless high school sports is to end it and put the money to better use teaching the mouth breathers to read

It seems I hurt your feelings pointing out that things don't need to be scrapped when they could be fixed pretty easily with some priority readjustment. Nothing wrong with being both a well rounded student and athlete is there?

Seems I hurt your feelings pointing out that no one cares about some division 2 athletes that no one outside of Ashe cares about. Just further confirms that the county should scrap the athletic program and focus on reading.

Actually, I do. Just contributing with relevant discussion like Carlton should want. I would think that would be much better than the petty intentional drama distractions you do on every thread.

You don't know what D1 means do you.

Oldtimer I figured you might be talking to me. I agree Little and Lopp should be considered. I mean look at all Martin gives back to Ashe now. Didn't him and the one dentist and his wife just put together the Stomp and Brew to raise money for all the kids shoes? Gotta appreciate that. And him along with David I mean Brad would give the old Central crowd bragging rights with the Hardee's fellers wouldn't they?

And I reckon we could think about the lady athletes also that went on to play at the college level. I think Tomlinson and Yearick played softball and Hardin did golf at App State. Also the guys Scott and Elliott wrestled at App I believe. Wineberg played football for Western Carolina and got his foot in the NFL door I heard. Alot of them have Martin to thank for opening his gym doors when the schools were not available. Still a good safe place for the high school kids to lift so that has to count for something.

You should then have read the rest of the thread before replying.

Perhaps you should re-read the original post. No one requested that there be "an argument for athletics". Of course, you egotistically changed it to a topic of your choosing and then berate anyone who wants to simply comment on the original post. Kind of sad when one actually thinks about it.

So your argument for Ashe athletics is a minor league relief pitcher that played 3 years in the 70's in the farm program, and a fullback that played in 40 years ago at a basketball school.

Interesting how certain folks think getting on here and spouting garbage in their responses makes them look smart. Anyway, I would think that someone like a Brad Lopp or even Martin Little would be in the discussion. Brad was a four-year letterman and two-year starter for some excellent UNC football teams and Martin was a pretty impressive pitcher for the Cardinals organization, I believe, before getting injured.

Sorry man. I should have either run it by Tatum or through a Thinking Map before I posted that last one.

Then you should try forming coherent sentences.
