I have a feeling there will be more takeovers coming soon - especially in that part of the state as what few good jobs are left there continue to evaporate and young people leave, never to return.

True I left and I will return one day to bury my Parents and sell off the assets they built over the years. The key to rebuilding the Eastern / South Eastern part of the state is for the State Legislature to beat Mississippi and BAMA for Factory jobs.

Hard to believe this is a School system that won a State Basketball title in 82 if memory serves me correctly.

As much as I hate to observe this, you realize that has been 32 years....pretty much a generation.....

Time should not fly this fast....

It does and the Trojans sent several players off that team to play College Ball at TCU , Memphis and one played for Eddie Sutton.
