This was the majority of @HUHSAthletics message to @CharMeckSchools and @CMeckAthletics last night. I want to thank everyone who supports Harding, and I hope this is a catalyst for change at every school that feels the same inequities in the system. #clthsfb

It absolutely breaks my heart to share with you that we lost our Queen to this world @Shiree_Howard today. There are so many words that Twitter doesn't have room for me to say, but she was much more than what you saw with CFI. She was a great friend, the sister I never had. RIP

Here's a look at the Harding University High School Track guys and girls. Thanks for the equity CMS. This was cut due to drainage issues from the football field waterlogging the track. Same old story. It's a damn shame point blank and period. Why can't Harding have the basics?

Seeing different comments about kids switching schools, you have to be careful not to paint every situation with a broad brush. In 2020, parents and kids do what's best for them & just like kids that stay where they start, deserve the same respect & support, period.

I've heard a lot of talk about other schools, but don't forget about Butler who has been at the top for many years, led by a great coach in Brian Hales. He has some real good talent coming back and they are hungry to prove that championship football is alive and well in Matthews!

Check out the video of this TD call at W.Meck vs W. Charlotte Friday. This play was the only TD in a 7-0 victory for WC. Clearly, it is not a TD or a catch for that matter and it was on 4th down. This game is for an automatic playoff berth. It's bad, and not fair for the Hawks.
