Athens Academy puts early byes behind, jumps back into schedule

Regents' immigration policy at heart of Chester Brown issue | ajc.com So now it comes down that Board of Regents policy has adversely affected the University of Georgia recruiting of a 6 for 6 inch 345 pound Samoan athlete who so loved his scholarship offer that he tattooed it on his arm? Do you think this is going to help bring foreign students to Athens? What about the all time Georgia sack leader Richard Tarditz of France? What about offering a scholarship to North Oconee lineman Joseph Scelfo? Who is going to step up to the redneck policies of the Board of Regents? I am damn sure that Florida, Missouri, and Texas A&M would offer this Chester Brown a scholarship. Why are we not keeping the best lineman in the area in quite some time go un-recruited? Didn't his dad used to coach at UGA? We need answers, not scapegoats, but it is only the Democratic legislators who are trying to do anything about our stupid and xenophobic overreaction that is costing us every day at the ...

Chuck Toney, has he announced where he is attending yet? Give this kid a scholarship, Mark Richt! Please? Keep it local. 

Maybe this will begin to show the average good ol' boy redneck tailgaters at UGA football games that the Republican party in Georgia really does not have the best interests of the University of Georgia football team in mind when they created xenophobic laws that have denied us a really big lineman. Seems like big time college football programs like USC (not South Carolina but you can bet Steve Spurrier is laughing at us again), Utah, Brigham Young, Utah State, Hawaii, Boise State and a few dozen other schools have been kicking our ass for the better part of a generation now when it comes to recruiting Samoans and other Pacific Rim athletes.

The South Forsyth War Eagles, still an expansion high school of sorts compared to Forsyth Central and North Forsyth, is getting the considerable talents and services of former Oconee County High School football coach Jeff Arnette, according to the Forsyth County News online service . Arnette was an assitant on the State Championship team in 1999 and took over the head coaching reigns soon thereafter. He has most immediately been Defensive Coordinator for the Valdosta High School team.

Not exactly sure where Grandpa Donnan lives (whether Clarke or Oconee or what difference does it make), but he restored ordered to the Georgia Bulldogs and his grandson T goes to school with my son, and I think he is an outstanding coach and person. Congratulations to Coach Donnan for his long overdue induction to the Hall of Fame .

Coaching is the most thankless task known to mankind. Parents have nothing but venom to spew your way if you are not playing little Johnny enough. That said, Coach Nick Saltaformaggio came to Oconee County after Hurricane Katrina scattered many people from New Orleans a couple of years ago. He deserved much better treatment than what he received around these parts. But no coach is ever going to take Oconee County back to the promise land of football State Titles as long as the current principal remains in power at the High School. I only heard random fragments of disgruntled statements from the kid across the street who is not yet old enough to play for him, but would hear about how various threats were made ostensibly by him. Locker room chatter is something better left to the locker room. I would like to thank Coach Salt for his considerable efforts with a great QB who will be signed by some Division 1 team next year as well as his work with Oconee County Warriors football.
