That's our question for today...
We focus on Kevin Kelley of Pulaski Academy out of Little Rock, Arkansas...
He never punts, doesn't want his kids to field them, and almost always onside kicks after his own scores...
His school of 1,500 played Cabot- a school five times his size Friday...
Here's the preview...

At a little after 4AM, she was shot and killed as she was apparently mistaken for a boy who had gotten into a fight with boys from a neighboring housing project.
According to witnesses, Murphy was pleading for her life with the shooter claiming she had nothing to do with what happened. The shooter is still on the loose and is being sought after by the NYPD...

OSG High: Virginia Mom Speaking Out Against Concussions
((HT: MyFoxDC))
Austin Trenum committed suicide two days after suffering a concussion during a high school football game in northern Virginia nearly a year ago. He ran the ball three times for a total of three yards in a 48-14 loss. Two days later, he was found dead in his bedroom...
Maureen Umeh had the story back then...
Now his parents are speaking out. Austin's parents donated their son's brain for research, and doctors found that Austin's brain had "structural damage" during the examination. One of the doctors says he thinks it's "more likely that not" the suicide was a result of the concussion.
Austin's father, Gil, is a member of the local school board in Prince William County, Maryland. He is working to put new guidelines in place at the county's schools for all athletes- not just football players. Austin's mom and dad are maintaining that "getting your bell rung" shouldn't be seen as something cool anymore...
The HQ is interesting in seeing if this works out there...

OSG High: If You Can't Beat Em, Join Em...
((HT: WJBF-TV Augusta))
This is the first time that the HQ can remember something like this ever going down...
Lincoln County ((GA)) High School's Red Devils are coached by Larry Campbell. Coach Campbell has been around as head coach since 1972 and is 7th in the nation in career wins.
Garrison Hearst...??? Played under Campbell... the list of stars for all of Campbell's Class A state titles is huge, and when you see what can happen if you play under Campbell- you want to chase the bright lights.
Harlem High lost to LCHS 69-6 last weekend...
Their star running back, sophomore Mike McIntyre, after grinding out 60 yards in the loss transferred to Lincoln County...
McIntyre's eligibility is currently in question and evaluation by the Georgia High School Association and Coach Campbell has held McIntyre out of practice until he gets a final ruling...
Interesting case study... and Coach Campbell don't play...
Highlights of the Lincoln County-Harlem game are below with FOSG Chris Kane
Fast forward to the 5:20 mark...

The HQ has covered Fitzgerald High School football in our Georgia workings. We have both personal and professional friends in the town, and we feel for their loss in the DJ Searcy case...
Earlier today in Atlanta, Searcy's parents held a presser at the national headquarters for the Omega Psi Phi fraternity...
"This was such a preventable death," said attorney Benjamin Crump, representing DJ Searcy's parents. "It never should've happened."
Doug Evans was at the presser...
"My question to the coaches is why didn't you call 911 on Monday night and notify me when he first went down unconscious and unresponsive," DJ's mother, Michelle Searcy, said.
The Searcy's are calling for an investigation by the Georgia High School Association as to what the Fitzgerald coaches knew and when they knew it...

OSG High: Another HS Death, This Time In Arkansas
((HT: KTHV-TV Little Rock))
The HQ thinks that this is the fifth death during the early parts of pre-season practice this high school football season...
This time, it's in Arkansas...
Gurdon ((AR)) High School sophomore Montel Williams collapsed at football practice and later died. Head football coach John Pace says Williams fell to one knee after a series of wind sprints during practice Tuesday night.
Preliminary autopsy results should be available tomorrow. Investigators are keeping an open mind and are looking into whether heat exhaustion or an undiagnosed medical condition could have played a role in Williams death.
Coach John Pace says the team will dedicate its season to Williams and try to get through this tragedy together. "They're all in shock, kind of like we all are." Pace says, "Only time will help that."
Gurdon students go back to school on Monday, and grief counselors will be made available to Williams's friends and fellow students...

OSG High: NC Teen With Down's Syndrome Too Old To Play...???
((HT: WRALSportsfan.com))
There's nothing like high school football to get everyone in a small town riled up over what is a perceived wrong...
Brett Bowden recently turned 19, and the North Carolina High School Athletic Association says he is no longer eligible to suit up for his Hobbton High team because he is too old. Allowing him to do so, Hobbton High athletics administrators say, is a violation of state rules.
Bowden suffers from Down's Syndrome and has been on the sidelines for his team for the last two seasons- suiting up in full pads. But he can't do that anymore...
And being a part of the team has been well-meaning for Brett and his teammates...
Mike Charbonneau is at practice to explain...
The team's first scrimmage is set for Tuesday night...

OSG High: SC Teen Dies During HS Workout
((HT: WMBF-TV Florence, Myrtle Beach))
Authorities are investigating the death of a 14-year-old South Carolina high school football player who collapsed following a weekend morning practice. Darlington County Coroner J. Todd Hardee said Tyquan Xavier Brantley, a freshman at Lamar High School, died at hospital late Saturday.
Hardee says tests are being conducted to determine if the death was heat related or from another cause. The heat Saturday afternoon rose to 101 degrees, a near-record, according to the National Weather Service.
"We are heartbroken at this terrible tragedy," Dr. Rainey Knight, superintendent of the school district, said, according to the Florence Morning News.
Darlington County School District spokeswoman Audrey Childers said it was the team's second day of light practice in helmets but no pads. Brantley was walking off the field when he started to complain about cramps and then collapsed. Childers said players were on the field about an hour and got a five-minute water break every 20 minutes.
She said the team resumes practice Monday night after taking Sunday off.

OSG High: Iowa School Sets National Consecutive Wins Record
((HT: WOI-TV Des Moines))
Martensdale-St. Marys, a small school from rural Iowa, beat Twin Cedars-Bussey High 10-0 in six innings Tuesday night, setting the national high school record for consecutive wins.
The win by Martensdale-St. Marys also clinched a trip to next week's state tournament for the Blue Devils, who play in Iowa's smallest classification.
Martensdale-St. Marys finished 43-0 and won the state crown a year ago and they're looking to do the same again...
Here's the highlights...
There is a cool hook to this story...
Portsmouth High School in New Hampshire set the mark earlier this season and its streak of 83 straight wins is still alive. The Clippers won their state title in the spring.
So these two could flip back and forth for a while...

OSG High: SoCal's Montclair Prep Cuts Athletics, Financial Aid
((HT: KTLA-TV Los Angeles))
School officials at Montclair College Preparatory in suburban Los Angeles have decided to cut its sports program, grade services, and financial aid incentives. School Director Mark Simpson sent out a letter to the more than 200 students enrolled in the 2011-12 school year notifying them of the changes.
"As a result of this economy and overwhelming requests for financial aid, we had to restructure," Simpson told the LA Times.
The school will also discontinue grades seven and eight and will only operate as a high school, and the school's financial aid program will also be eliminated.
Founded in 1956, Montclair is known for its notable alumni including Cher, Nicole Richie and Khloe Kardashian.

OSG High: Georgia Coaching Legend Luther Welsh Passes
((HT: WJBF-TV/WRDW-TV Augusta))
Georgia high school head coaching legend Luther Welsh passed away Thursday morning...
Welsh was a head coach in the state since 1955 and continuously since 1968 at Dougherty, Camden County, Greene County, Screven County, and two terms at Thomson High School in suburban Augusta. He was head coach of the Bulldogs for 19 years and three titles to go with ten region titles.
Brent Buffington talked to those who Welsh touched most...
The following is an excerpt from a book the HQ has just finished...
"Georgia High School Football: Peach State Pigskin History"
On the field, changes took place all over, starting in Thomson with the retirement of Luther Welsh. Coach Welsh conquered lymphoma in the past decade, but succumbed to the disease in July of 2011. Both he and his wife, Anne, were facing battles with the disease, and at the end of the 2010 season decided that it was time for him to return home to Bishopville, South Carolina, and leave the coaching to another.
Anne had half of a lung removed in September 2010 as part of her battle and she passed almost a week before he did. Coach Welsh traveled to Augusta for his own treatments for cancer. The couple, who would have been married fifty years in September of 2011, were looking to enjoy their time at home. “The devil is trying to get us,” Anne told the Augusta Chronicle’s Scott Michaux after she fell and broke her hip during her own recovery in 2010.
The new Bulldogs coach comes from the town of Twin City, otherwise known as “Greymont-Summit.” Milan Turner won a Class A title at ECI with Georgia tailback Washaun Ealey in 2007, and he understands his new place—having been chosen over one hundred other applicants.
“You don’t replace a Coach Welsh,” Turner said after his unanimous confirmation by the McDuffie County School Board in February. “He leaves a legacy that will stand. It’s a great honor to follow a coaching legend like Luther Welsh. I understand the expectations. I understand the tradition.”
Welsh passes on having coached his way into the top eight on the all-time national list of most games coached. Welsh coached 507 games with eleven different schools, winning 329 of them. His record at Thomson was 174-47-2 with the Bulldogs, and his overall record was 333-181-6.
The book is set to be released in late August through The History Press...

OSG High: Michigan Recruit Involved In Second Plane Crash
((HT: MyFoxDetroit))
Ten days ago, Indiana high school basketball star Austin Hatch declared to play for the University of Michigan. Now, he is hospitalized in critical condition after a plane crash that killed his father and step-mother. Sadly and ironically, Hatch and his dad survived another crash in 2003 that killed his mother and two siblings.
"We are saddened to hear about another tragedy that has affected the Hatch family," Michigan coach John Beilein said in a statement. "Austin needs as much support right now as possible and I know he will be in the thoughts and prayers of the Michigan family during this difficult time."
His father received a private pilot certificate in 1997, according to the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. The single-engine aircraft he was piloting, with three passengers, crashed into a garage Friday night in the Michigan town of Charlevoix.
Hatch is currently in a medically-induced coma...

Ten days ago, Indiana high school basketball star Austin Hatch declared to play for the University of Michigan. Now, he is hospitalized in critical condition after a plane crash that killed his father and step-mother. Sadly and ironically, Hatch and his dad survived another crash in 2003 that killed his mother and two siblings.

OSG High: Jeremy Williams Resigns
((HT: GPB Sports/DawgPost))
The HQ received a bit of sad news last night...
We have covered the story of Greenville ((GA)) High School head football coach/Athletics Director Jeremy Williams and his fight with ALS- Lou Gehrig's Disease. The amazing attitude of Jeremy, his high school sweetheart and wife Jennifer, and his kids Josie and Jacob has been well-documented here.
Jeremy has decided to resign from his post at Greenville High as he battles the disease and focus on what he termed in his text message to us "his new adventure."
What the Williams family has been able to show us is a great lesson of perseverance, love, understanding, and faith that is not being forgotten by everyone that they touch as we all move forward.
We just wanted to tip our hat to Jeremy, the Williams family, and to Greenville...
We're thinking about you...
Here's Dean Legge catching up with Jeremy after National Signing Day...
And here's a story Lisa Weiss did for GPB Sports "Prep Sports+" program on the Patriots and their program from a few seasons back...
And a slideshow from their time in and around "Extreme Makeover:Home Edition"

Do your research on Jeremy and his story... it's worth your time...
