For Wildcat / Jeff Herron fans.

Click on post title for link. Thanks to the reader who sent me this. From the article: "And with 2,956 students, Camden is Georgia’s largest high school that has no rivals in its district." I realize this is heresy, but, nonetheless, isn't it about time for a north end high school?

Jeff is God, gag me with a spoon. If only the truth were told. Go witness a practice. Tell me if you hear cuss words. What a puff piece. This team has at least 8 kids who's names have been in the police blotters of the T&G. OK son, you were arrested for underage drinking, you have to sit out a quarter of a game we are going to kick the other teams butt by 60 anyway. Sure I send Kids to D-1 schools to play football and get an education. I can't help it if they get kicked off the team for cheating (FSU) look it up. Give me a break, he is no God send. He has a cush overpaid job that we the taxpayers pony up for. And the numbers in the article did not include his pay as the HS AD. The understated Sprit Turf to the tune of $950,000 was paid out of SPLOST. How do you feel now Camden County? Want another football champion, or tax rebates? Do some research people!!!

Look in the yearbook and count the number of football coaches and I think you will find approximately 30. Does that seem a little high? How many of those teach a couple of weightlifting classes per day? Oh, and the county paid 1,084,000 for the Sprint Turf and for resurfacing the track.

Check this out:

BOhttps://eboard.eboardsolutions.com/meetings/offline/AthleticNames%20-%2011-11-08_1582992mvgd1ziyzawmjadagsf5m45.pdfE

If this link does not work - the article is at the BOE website for the November 11,2008 meeting under revised FY09 salary schedule.

Although the total allocation may not have changed, it is indicitive of priorities at a time of fiscal austerity when we have students in portables, teachers with phd's earning less than the atheletic director, not to mention the title ix aspect...

When you have a medical emergency and call 911 do you want someone who participated in a really well funded football program to respond or someone who received first rate science and math instruction?

Why is the County paying for the turf to begin with. Shouldn't the Quarterback Club pay for that? Or use some of that sign board income to pay for it.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I'll publish everything that is not clearly libelous.

I'm sure I'll be hearing from Herron fans shortly.

whats wrong mr/mrs anonymous, you afraid that by showing who you are the wrath of the "godly" jeff faithful with hunt you down?? If your going to say things like that at least have the guts to say who you are. I am Brandon Segari, a recent graduate of camden high and a former football player also. I can tell you from FIRST hand experience that he IS a very christian man and does NOT except profanity, nor failure on the field or expecially the class room!!! After school tutering is REQUIRED for all players not excelling in the classroom, and did i mention that that tutering takes place during practice?? And as far as the "one quarter suspention" for breaking team rules OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL!!, I personally know every player involved in the incedent and every one of those players -all of which were starters- served 3 GAME suspentions during very crutial games!! ie. Hoover and First Coast. Now you say " go to a practice and se if you hear cussing" which implies YOU attend practice which also implies you closley follow the team. Now I will grant you YES, you will hear it on occasion, but if coach Herron hears it they are punished! Football is a very physical and aggressive game, and sometimes tempers and emotions flare, BUT I guarentee you if you were to visit the band room or even a drama practice, foul lanuage will be heard there also. YOUR DEALING WITH HIGH SCHOOL KIDS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! No man can completely controle any other person, its up the that person to controle there own actions. I still cannot understand your personal attack one an outstanding man and coach as jeff herron, or the football program. Being that you DO attend practices, its sounds to me that you maby have a child who playes football and are upset about his personal acheivements. Maby he dosent get the playing time YOU think he deserves, and are afraid of reprecussions on him so you hid your identity. Or being that your also attacked financial standings, maby your upset about your own acheivements, success, and financial standings? Or maby your one of the many that are Jelous of that success of the football team any wonder why 10,000 people come out to support them and wonder why only 50-100 people show up to a tennis match? I guess we will never know the true reasons.
And one last thing, what is this "lets compare players CRCT scores??" are you implying that there is special treatment given to football players in the class room? I can assure you there is not! I know of coaches that teach -real subjects, not only weight training- that have FAILED players! OR are you simply saying that football players are stupid??

FYI- The CRCT test isnt given past the 8th grade, so do a little reachearch before making statements. :) If ya dont like the way things are in camden, or cant handle the popularity of football in the south, i suggest moving to Utah. - I hear wrestling is pretty popular out that way - ;)

Brandon, here is a friendly suggestion.

Copy any one of your three comments. Then past it into Word. Then run a spellcheck.

Shocking, eh?

You really should use spellchek all the time. Apparently, your "tutering" (sic) was largely ineffective.

Try reading everything you can get your hands on.
