are you the one whose daughter is in the background of the famous UGA pic?

Not me. No kids yet.

But I am a Grady alum and know the coach.

I was just going to say that I went to Grady in the mid 90s. Played baseball there when Millen was the baseball coach and assistant on the football team. He had also been my middle school PE coach (he didn't make the move to the Grady staff until he was named head football coach).

He was never anything less than a class act in all the years I knew him. I'm not saying that he is innocent in all of this (no way of knowing) but I would think that there are others at the school that would have had to be complicit in the whole affair. Wouldn't the registrar notice the addresses?

Also, Grady has never been that great at football. I don't recall them ever making the playoffs when I was there. Their one "glory year" was a trip to the state semis. When i was there they were AA. Later moved up to AAA but were annually facing schools like Pius that can recruit if they want to. I don't see pulling kids from outside the attendance zone to make that team better - if the kids are that great, they would want to go to a school where they are going to get a lot more attention on the field. Grady has always been more of a beacon of academics in the APS, not a football powerhouse. If anything I would think that parents/kids would be lying about where they lived to get them in for Grady's higher (although higher is subjective when comparing APS to other districts) academic population.

While it sounds like you'd bring some good discussion, since dawgs aren't allowed on your board, you aren't allowed on ours. Sorry about that. When your admins change their minds we'll consider it!
