Repeat Jr. Year

Sorry to here this!
That may be a question for his counselor at school.

Have you looked into a private school, just so he can finish this semester?

Very best of luck to your son in the future. Work hard, make good choices and pursue the game wherever he can.

A lot has to do with what the reasons for the expulsion were

It was for possesion of pot - first offense. A big wake up call - a big problem in most schools. Poor decisions. Hopefully it shocked him into reality.

...don't know what the rules are that are enforced by your controlling body. Here in Florida, there's a max 4-year eligibility that begins at the onset of 9th grade. Some cases are considered for extenuating circumstances. You need to look into that aspect of it.

Sorry for the dissappointment, but wish for you a great life lesson on the part of your son. How he handles it will make all the difference from this point forward in his life.

Two quotes that are favorites of mine...


"It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up."
Vince Lombardi

"My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure."
Abraham Lincoln

All the best to your son.

Thanks - saw you are a Hokie fan - he got to pitch for Coach Hartman in January.

The path to achieving his dreams is sure different now, but not impossible.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Hartman's a legend, and a great guy to boot. Give him a call. Seek out some solid advice from someone who's seen a lot in his time, possible your exact situation, and probably has an idea where your boys falls into the mix.

By the way... where does your boy go to school? Carnac here is guessing Godwin. I went to Freeman in the mid 70's.

He was a JR at James River - predicted win the District this year. He was the #2 arm and probably the 4-5 bat and 3B.

He is looking to playing with a home school team (that has a better coach than JR!)they play against the private schools in the area.

I will take you up on your suggestion. Actually I may have father in-law (VT 59) take some action there.

Thanks!
