Why are these type stories in the Sun before Item?  It seems it would be in the local paper, then picked up by the Sun or others.

Pandora's box is now open. Not smart to haze anymore. I got my fair share of hazing in the day.

That is not hazing. That is assault. A little hazing never hurt anybody.

This is not even close to being a surprise to me. I can tell you how this got started on this team, and who started it. This has been going on for years, and in somewhat similar news…the school board appoints Frank Feely to fill a vacant position??? Really??

Frank Feely got nominated to a vacant school board position. He is just a hothead that seems like a bad move by the school board to me. Thats just my opinion. BTW I'm not saying Frank had anything to do with this hazing thing....I think he is kinda dumb, but not that stupid.

I have never understood why some people think hazing is ok.  If the allegations are true, it sounds like this kid was more a victim of bullying than hazing.

I think the school superintendent, the high school principal and the baseball coach have a BIG problem. Probably three lost jobs for not addressing the problem at the time.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

How about the athletic director?

 It's in the print edition of PI this am...Lawsuit was filed last month and if it hadn't been for Jackson paper writing about we( the public) would not have known about it..It's a reprint of what was printed in Jackson paper..so not much work done by PI cept by the print person. This local paper is not like the PI I grew up with that's for sure...Back then Chance and Nutter printed just about everything and sometimes got into fist fights with people who were offended..They had some really good reporters who dug into every aspect of small town life..If ya'll get a chance go over to library and look at old items from the 40s, 50s and 60s...You will see difference..
