The Whitmer Panthers under great adversity looked like a well oiled machine as they dismantled the Knights 34-0.

How'd the Basketball player do? Did he have to practice at all during the week, or does he just show up for games....like Jefferson in Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

WB, its obvious you only read the blade's one sided and non fact based story to jump to your preconceived conclusion(based on sarcastic comment). The "basketball player" you refer to from the blade article of august, started practice several days after competing in Florida AAU basketball.

A little update that the blade never shared was the fact that "the basketball player" never missed one session of any two-a-day practice. In addition to working out with football "the basketball player" also shot 500+ or - shots a day, on his own!

BTW, he is part of a team that was successful in defeating St Francis.

WB...just curious, what team do you support?

What adversity?

I can't answer for Sir Lancelot, but what he is talking about is the ohsaa investigation. These people are sitting outside of families' houses scaring family member, knocking on doors at 7a.m., sitting outside of workplaces, asking neighbors and family members all types of questions. They are following people while they are driving to and from stores and work. This is bull crap! ohsaa has scoured documents in the school checking rosters of 22 sports at the high school. Now they are going back like 5 or 6 years in the junior high building. They are pissed and accusing Whitmer of getting too many transfers.

This started around a court hearing vs ohsaa that ruled against ohsaa in a temporary injunction.
Politically driven attack against Whitmer.
The ohsaa is still holding a couple kids hostage in ruling on their eligibility claiming it has to do with the investigation.
