Reese, I'll never know if you read this...but right now, you may be feeling a sense of being alone.  It's understandable.  You may be disappointed and angry at many things...doctors, life, God...and that is understandable as well...

What you are going to find, though, is that a community that has a warm and giving heart...a community that will be there for you in times just like these...a community that will not only pray for you, but be there for you, regardless of what happens on a football field, or any other field of play.  A community that is regional in nature, but local in the love it has. 

Reese, I pray that God gives you strength, that God gives you patience, that God gives you a future filled with wonderful things.  I pray that your heart is lightened in this time of trouble.

If there are any funds set up for Reese, please post them.  I know the community would help.

I don't know Reese and will probably never meet him, but I can understand how it would be hard to lose your parents at such a young age. I have a feeling that kid will grow up to be very independent and mature for his age. He will grow up fast. He will be stronger because of this. My sophomore year in high school we had a freshman's dad waiting to pick his son up from practice and his son went outside to find his father had died in the truck with the truck still running. It was extremely hard to see this first hand and I couldn't imagine how it would feel if that was my dad. That young man was angry for a while but then found a passion for god that was unlike anything I've ever seen. He would reach out to other students to try and spark their faith for the rest of high school. I wish the best for this young man and hope he will be okay.

May GOD BLESS YOU ! Its very difficult to face this sort of thing in life. God will never put anything in your life that you can't handle. Have faith in God, he is carrying you thru this right now. My son goes to PNG and told me about you and your strength. Keep it up and you will be a stronger man when you come out of the other side of this. Our family will be praying for you and your family. God Bless !

It is truly an inspiration to see that the community I was transplanted into in 1995 is nothing short of wonderful when confronted with tragedy. 

It would have been easy for us to dismiss these things as "it happened at someone else's school" or "it don't matter to us", but that hasn't happened.  We have come together for the good.  We have come together in a show of solidarity that one finds very little of in today's culture of "me".  We are truly "family" when needed.

Reese...it seems that you have decided to put your all into doing things to the best of your ability.  That the tragedy you have suffered, you took, and made a positive out of.  That you have taken the lessons imaprted by your parents to heart.  You are truly a shining testament to their parentage.  May God continue to bless you and give you strength...

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
