So your idea is to place blame on the parents and the kids??? Let's be real frank here P-town has been going down, down, down for sometime now. They have dropped off in sports, academics and overall outsider appeal as a city. Your solution instead of trying to build up at least ONE of those things is to put the blame on a teenager for not wanting to be there and his/her parents for not forcing their child to be at a place where they are unhappy??? You do see the fault in your ideology here correct??? I mean it seems as if every Trojan fan has complained about the play calling the small town politics the leadership within the program, but yes by all means let's blame the teenager and the parents for wanting to go to a place where they feel they can achieve better things both in school and in athletics. So before you go and rant about how parents don't raise their kids, looks as if they parents are doing exactly what they need to do for their child. Guess the parents just don't want to wait for the adults at p-town to fix things because they've seen that isn't going to happen, that's called parenting and being proactive to a situation instead of reactive.

Back in the day you had strong kids with strong parents that instilled this in their kids,now days kids and parents tend to be a bunch of pansy ,Portsmouth has lost a lot of kids to some good programs , it hurts Portsmouth but in a way it hurts other programs as well, example ,Andrew bendolph goes to burg,burg has a few "burg" kids not come out that have played all the way up until then ,is it worth winning a few more games at the cost of YOUR kid getting cheated out of what he worked for all through his school career?
Burg has had success a lot to do with Portsmouth kids,but their parents are happy with that as long as they can win.
Also on another note,Cole lowery had a big hand in getting the football team to the state and he is the only reason burg will win some basketball games along with truit who is another transfer, but when its all said and done neither kid is going pro,so what did they do but hurt their home school???
Parents simply don't raise kids these days they let them make their own decisions.
