Editorial: 'Duty fitness' policy a problem for Oconee || OnlineAthens.com

Here we go again. What will this bout of verbal fisticuffs bring about now? Can we expect any further contentious statements about the substandard facilities, or faculties, or assorted other comparisons. Here are the key elements: OCHS is crumbling and falling apart. The best athletes are by in large attending NOHS, at least as far as this private school parent can tell. Kids and parents are not happy with a lot of academic and athletic situations at both schools. OCHS is going to get their ass kicked by the Gainesville, Johnson and West Hall in addition to Lanier and Walnut Grove in region play and usually still beat the traditional neighboring rival Monroe Area Purple Hurricanes in future GHSA action. East Jackson, Elbert County, Hart County, Jackson County, Jefferson, North Oconee and Oglethorpe County will make up a much closer and competitive 8B-AA where the Titans should dominate for many State Tourneys to come. Athens Academy earns a new subregion foe in George Walton Academy, who I applaud for having the stones to move from the wimpy GISA to GHSA.

Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. 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
