How is this transfer possible?

The N-G girls added the Virginia freshman of the year to their roster just in time for the state playoffs. She's only played in 4 games, all in the state playoffs. I found the comments in this article from the Dunmore coach to be pretty amusing.

I give the Dunmore coach credit in the game article. He said all the right things and didn't complain.

Sammy and Reluctant should get into the stock market now....

Sammy has told us that he's "not in the stock market" and reluctant is probably terrified of the danger that the market presents, but now is the time for both to start buying stocks. Translation: the market appears to be ready to go into a correction.

The amateurs will blame Trump or tariffs or some other cause, but the bottom line is that stocks have gone up for a while now without a correction, and it's probably a good time for it to happen. Certain technical indicators are flashing red. This could last 3-6 months and it's a good way to flush out the so-called weak holders and it also reduces valuations of stocks to more reasonable levels. Get in Sammy and reluctant, then you can blame Trump even more!

How did the football season go for your team?

Q&A with Whitehall defensive tackle Ian Kulp

How did the football season go for your team?
“I think we did good, but we could have been so much better. We played inconsistent, but when we were on, you knew. We had a lot of good players, so we shined in a lot of places. Our o-line was probably one of the best in the state, but we fell short in the playoffs.”

What are your workout plans now going forward?
“My plans are to get better in the weight room and get people around me better. I’m working on getting stronger and faster for this year.”

What are you trying to improve on the most this off-season?

How do you believe your team will be next season?
“I think we can be good, but we’re young. We lost our starting running back, our whole o-line except for me, our best wide receiver, and also many good seniors on defense. We still can be good this year, but a lot of young guys will need to step up.”

What is the toughest game on your schedule for 2018?
