Why in the spring?


Over the past month and a half there have been numerous prep athletes that have been busted with drug, alcohol or other behavorial problems.

There was even a case in which an area prep player yelled at his coach and threatened to quit, before the coach asked him if he was going to return to the game.

Is it a classic case of 'Senioritis'?

Most of the high school seniors have enough credits and have been on cruise control since the end of the first semester. They already are accepted into their respective colleges and don't have any motivation left for high school.

Another factor might be the warm weather. With the sun starting to peek out, halter tops have been more prevalent than the winter parkas. And of course, where the girls go, the boys are sure to follow. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the girls with shreds of clothing are the girls who make weekends an all-out experience.

Whatever the reason, it isn't going to change anytime soon. Kids are going to be kids. Just don't expect that behavior to happen when snow is on the ground.
