Brief story on the Elijah situation in today's Marietta paper: http://mdjonline.com/view/full_story_sports/23753413/article-Staley-dismissed-from-Wheeler-football-team?instance=secondary_story_left_column I look forward to seeing Elijah on the floor in January!
On a more upbeat note - Nick Fitzgerald was named SouthernPigskin Player of the Week by the Coastal GA ESPN Radio affiliate. On the way home from work yesterday, they reviewed his effort against Glynn Academy, noting that Les Koenning was at the game last week. They commented that Koenning's "eyes lit up" on Nick's big 55 yard TD run and that "you could tell that MSU coaches know they have something special with Nick". Their analysis was actually pretty close to mine - they knew he had a good arm, despite the low numbers, but they were very impressed with his running of the option game, his speed, and his willingness to pound a defense when on the run - "this kid is a special talent and will make an impact at the next level."
