I want to elaborate on the story about Jack's "Minor" injury. Not to be a jerk because you probably don't know the whole story, I am just explaining because Jack is a very good friend of mine. There was nothing minor about it. The very BRIGHT coaches at Walled Lake Central had the team perform a drill where they carry another player on their back and run for however long. Jack ended up fracturing his back in 2 places, and it put him out for football and baseball his Junior season. In his Senior season, Jack was told he would be the starting QB. A different QB had quit football earlier that season, therefore didn't come to two-a-days or any of the summer workouts or practices, where Jack had worked his butt off all summer. But then before the season starts, he decides to rejoin the team, and the coaches automatically put him over Jack as the starting QB, and gave Jack very little playing time, a handoff here and there, therefore ruining a football career of a kid who has a lot of potential. But I'm positive that Jack would rather be where he is now on the Michigan football squad than starting anywhere else! So as bad as politics are in high school, I guess it worked out okay for him. Jack is the SINGLE MOST humble guy I know, and have ever known, and if he ever reads this, he'll probably kill me, but the whole story about high school just ticks me off!
