I was at the Fort Mill graduation.

Does the punishment fit the crime? No, it is excessive, but are there any alternatives? Twenty-five hours of community service (no jail, no fine)?

Fort Mill graduated close to 600 students. If there was a "hoot" or "cheer" after every name we would have been in the Winthrop Coliseum for an uncomfortable amount of time.

Fortunately, next year, the number of Fort Mill grads should be less than 400.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
