Osborne axed at North Oconee

Although not yet confirmed (nor denied) by the Oconee County Board of Education, North Oconee High School Principal John Osborne was evidently relieved of his duties today following an ill advised decision to have his new school stop competing against neighboring rival Oconee County High School in sports yesterday.

You should research the information before you make a statement that is so wrong. He was not

Dear Nancy, thanks for expressing your opinion. I would strongly urge you to check the time and date of the original post before you condemn me to your venom.

This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
