He is a great player, but please, please report on the thousands of other outstanding student athletes in Mecklenburg county. We have seen enough articles on Hood and Grier. They have committed. Give some of the other kids some ink.. How many stories are you gonna do on them,,,
Any other kids in Charlotte doing anything in football? Let's hear about them...
COngrats!!!
Quit whining. These are the only two top prospects in the area. I for one care much more about them than I do some future Elon College player.
A great and well-deserved honor. Congratulations to Elijah!
Actually, he could have gotten more ink if reporter Wertz had included him every time he earned it in the weekly recap of top performances, and this all-star appearance couldn't be overlooked. With all the good players around, though, the Observer has to work to give them all their due - and does well at that.
GREAT JOB AND AWESOME KID. CONGRATS
