Your Views: Parents have lost control of their kids, based on public behaviorHave you ever been in a department store or grocery store and felt like you were among a bunch of wild animals? I despise parents who are controlled by their children. Who is in control? Obviously, not the adults.

Spring football gives a taste of what's to come in the fallSpring football is just as important as a high school coach wants it to be.
