This is a pure example of what is roaming the halls at bennett high school. But he is a good athlete so we're going to make an exception. Yea he looks at least 30

I've seen him all over the place since this.He told me there aren't enough available jail cells to give him much of a sentence.One happy guy.

Are you sure this pos is only 17? He looks like a hard 40 year old.

Really? What kind of message does this send that he is still playing Basketball for Bennett HS (assuming that is true) will the BOE look in to this? Come to think of it, why is he still in Bennett HS?

He likes to smash white girls too.

No white girl with self respect would have him but he will be getting smashed by white men in prison.

it amazes me how punks like this project aggression at whites they KNOW won't push back. Why don't you mess with someone that can help you with a little attitude adjustment

He is still in school. He is playing for Bennett. His coach benched him for one quarter due to his arrest. He doesn't want to pass judgment. Innocent until proven guilty.

We will soon be reading another story about this fine upstanding youngster...in the Obits.

@3:47 You are exactly right and it's not just Bennett!

he is a straight A student at Bennett and is studying community affairs. He has decided to attend MIT next fall. His goal is to teach anger mgt. and keno 101 after he graduates. He would like to teach at Shore Up and rob liquor stores at night.

Anonymous said...

bennet the class of the eastern shore! NOT! the girls BB team showed how much class they have during governors challenge. 2 technical's for dropping "f" bombs at officials and the coach does nothing. and now this fine upstanding student is just one more example. wtf is going on in these schools? rick this is on your watch why aren't you or hanlin demanding accountability? the coach's in this town are worse then the admin!
elected school board coming! maybe some parents can fix the problem for you since you obviously can't!

He has NOT played for Bennett since the arrest..so you can put that rumor to bed. Just check the box scores for the games at the Governor's Challenge.

And what are you talking about the Girls' team? Both girls got Technical fouls and were immediately benched for the rest of the game. I know, I was there.

Next stop---Playing BB in one of ECI's gyms.

Take a look at him ,thats the problem right there. Too many thugs and all the neighbors are afraid to speak up.

11:19 then you saw walkersville and oakdale girls teams and nearly the whole place rooting for parkside through overtime, since the bennett girls showed so much class! this isn't the first time the girls team has showed a lack of discipline/class. but hey it's about wins and loses right? no need to build character, teach and instill the need for perseverance how to deal with adversity in ones life. nope coaching is not about mentoring and teaching young people how to be successful and succeed in life. It's all about wins and loses! right?
