Well, this season is over for Thomas. He was held out of his team's first round playoff game last night due to a leg injury and they lost. Too bad. I guess we'll just see how great a senior year he has next season.

Of course, he still will be in track meets coming up.

another update
 

Yet another story about Thomas in the newspaper this morning. Apparently, he has made a verbal commitment to attend the University of Oregon. He says their spread offense would complement his speed as a runner and as a receiver without having him take a lot of pounding.

While this isn't binding, I doubt he'll change his mind during his senior season next year.

BTW - the Ducks could have used him yesterday in their game against USC. :(

Also BTW - the story called him the best HS athlete in the state right now.

In Mark's absence let me just say that this young man was featured in the Top Ten of ESPN this morning with with a record-setting 38 carries for 643 yards and 10 touchdowns yesterday.....Yikes.

Be well and hurry back Mark!

Were they playing the American School for the Blind?
