Schools May Delay Buses Due to Weather
Way to go on this one,,,, Parents who received this call went to go and pick their children up from school who rode the buses and guess what happens,, the buses were sent out on regular schedule. Parents were sitting out front waiting and were told your child is already on the bus heading home.

Wrestler Matt Hardy Faces Charges After Crash
This does not surprise me at all. We seen Matt at the Kangeroo in Vass a few months ago and he was high as a kite, you could smell the weed coming from his car, and he was alone so noone can say the weed was not his lol.I feel so sorry for his family, they are great people.

Schools Won't Seek Waiver on Extra Days
On the policy changing, the policy on bullying and harrassment needs to be addressed and possible all schools be forced to use the policy simply because the principals at union pines high seem to not understand that they have students attending that are nothing but bullies and when they are reported, the so called principals do nothing but slap them on the wrist and say dont do it again and send them to class. It is time that the teachers and principals start taking charge and stop letting the bullies have control. And yes I have complained and in return have been lied to by the school and board.It is time students take a stand and know they have rights that are suppose to protect them from bullies.

NCHSAA Has Video of Pinecrest, Union Pines Incident
Both schools are at fault. This situation between both schools has been brewing for years, my son played for UP's in the past and to be honest Coach Riggans is not the best pick at all. Both schools should be punished regardless of who started the so called brawl.And by this I mean the students that were ejected from the game, not the entire team or school itself. This was bound to happen and everyone who knows the hatred between the two schools should have seen this coming also. Both schools have great players' but something needs to be changed somewhere. If you were not at the game ,then dont pass judgement on either school until you know the real facts and the media will not post the entire truth either.
