I agree. Technically he's an adult by law, but he's still a student. Please stop.tvc_fan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 12:32 amDoes.it feel good to be a grown adult taking jabs at a kid?Daddy Coach wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 12:41 pmWell what is he waiting on? Get those applications in quickly! Waiting around will only delay the process of him signing his D1 scholarship or possibly being drafted straight into the majors?
Or is his heart still leaning towards basketball?

It's still panning out, in the meantime he has been going down to Huntington Prep and playing Basketball and just won a basketball tournament in Portsmouth. He is doing what he loves to do and being a kid while he can.Daddy Coach wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 9:24 am Not taking jabs. Being serious. Want to see him playing somewhere. You brought all this stuff up and then get mad because some of us want to see how this plays out.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
Right. Sounds like a kid who refuses to follow the rules that all of the other kids follow. And, schools do not have to accept open enrollment of kids who don’t follow rules and have poor grades.itsme wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:02 am All he had to do is to wear a uniform 2 days a week that was required in his Criminal Justice Class and he still have been on the basketball team. Follow the rules that his baseball coach and he would been on baseball team. Seem like to me he has trouble follow the rules

I believe the weather is going to cause a lot of issues with scrimmages/practices in the next week or so.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
Yes you saw him there and it was not official, however he got the call today and he starts tomorrow morning and is now an Eastern Eagle.
Re: TVC Hocking 2018
Good for the young man. Eastern is one of the best schools in the area, always very classy. Most importantly he gets his diploma but I'm also excited to watch him possibly play some baseball! Looks like it's gonna be a great year at Eastern with or without him, but he will only help if he is able to play.
Re: TVC Hocking 2018
Thank you for being only one of the few for the support of a kid that is labeled a bad influence, rule breaker that gets failing grades. This will benefit him and Eastern. Kid made a few bad choices and has put them behind him to move forward.coyote wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 7:13 pmGood for the young man.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
Honestly, and I don't mean this in a bad way, who cares what one 18 year old kid does? Seriously. It affects nobody's life personally but his own.tvc_fan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 7:27 pmThank you for being only one of the few for the support of a kid that is labeled a bad influence, rule breaker that gets failing grades.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
One person's actions do affect other people. For instance if you're a parent who cares more about your kids points per game or era than their GPA then you miss all the signs of a rebellious kid who fails to follow the rules. It affects the kid. While he is trying to prove that he would be worthy of a college scholarship, you allow him to get away with not wearing the proper attire to a class he signed up for. Thereby putting himself in a tough spot and making all the potential next level coaches wonder if he would end up rebelling on them too. All the best to Christian Maddox. I hope he overcomes it all and is very successful in life.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
Dude, I'm trying to get these people to stop dogging your kid, because I personally like him. Why does it matter to anybody on here what he does? Is anybody losing sleep because a high school kid changed schools? That's my point. I exaggerated before with a statement. It happens. I'm just trying to figure out why people care so much. Maroon and Gold, so if this affects Christian long term, how are you affected? I've screwed up and lost jobs in my life. If you lose a job, do you dwell on it to learn from it or go get another job as fast as you can if someone is willing to hire you? You go get another job. This kid wanted to keep playing ball and maybe found a way to do so. Regardless of what he wold have done, at this point in his life he either learned from it or he didn't.tvc_fan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 10:39 pmSo any choice or decision u make affects nobody's life but your own?BlizzardMan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 10:31 pmHonestly, and I don't mean this in a bad way, who cares what one 18 year old kid does?

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
I'm not affected. You missed my point. Kids will be kids and I wish him nothing but the best. Sincerely. My point is that the typical Meigs superstar's parents think way too much about what happens on the field or court and totally lose focus on the true potential of their kid. I've seen it time and time again. I love sports and competition however parents who get ate up with thinking their kid is the second coming of the athletic savior are a huge problem. They allow junior to run the show as long as their points per game or yards per carry are something to brag about in town and on Facebook. Then they whine and complain when he brings home failing grades because "nobody told me he was failing". They need to look in the mirror and understand its their fault. The parents actions caused the issue. And instead of perpetuating the problem by blaming others and moving junior so he can continue to be big man in campus, they should take a good look at where they are and fix the problem. Junior has to learn that actions have consequences. If you don't do what you're supposed to do in the real world, (whether you want to or not) you end living in the beat up house at the end of the road, barely scraping by. Your best memory in life is when you scored 32 against Southern. There's more to life than that. Parents (especially Superstar parents) need to face that.BlizzardMan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 12:49 amDude, I'm trying to get these people to stop dogging your kid, because I personally like him.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
I'm with Blizzard man, why anyone cares that much what a kid does or doesn't do is beyond me. Unless of course that person is a relative or close friend of the family.
Maroon and gold ... Predicting the future is impossible and stereotyping is never accurtate either. Everyone is different, every situation is different. The kid could just as easily end up playing ball at a small college, obtaining a degree and earning six figures some day as he could working at a gas station.

Re: TVC Hocking 2018
I don't think it's the kid, so much..I think it's the amount of chatter from his dad over the last few years that has perturbed some people. I'm in favor of letting it die and let's talk about sports.

Waterford lost a lot and gained a little, coach Huffman is still learning, program is still building as it started from scratch. Waterford overall is in good hands and headed in the right direction.
