topic number 17422.1.3.1 by the way the poster is a black man who graduated from J.O. Johnson High School in 1978

WOW you bring up BASEBALL... JOJ is a predominately Black school... we dont care about baseball or s****r, you can have that at Grissom. Worry about getting cheating Stapler back so you your basketball team can win more than 3 games next year. Stapler was smart, he realized that to be competitive these days in the city you have to have Blacks on your team... soon as he left the Blacks left and Grissom has been the laugh of the city every since then.

I guess I should give you some background. J.O. Johnson is a school of 837 96% black in Huntsville, AL. Grissom is a school of 1928 98% White and Asian Americans.
