“No need to look - but the other two referees just stand there watching the whole thing ....”
That caught my attention. They actually seemed to be looking away at some points so as not to see what they were seeing.
Yes a number of books
Wild Bill is my great grandfather
Thomas raspberry Byrd from Pineville....a prolific but non violent man except at Vicksburg ...23 children
My maternal grandfather side is from Burns northwest of Raleigh
My maternal grandma from Mize her dad county postmaster
Raspberry was a farmer and squire in Pineville...he owned a section...a big deal then
Man those tiny towns in smith and Scott and Simpson counties then were teeming with folks you look at old Main Street photos
A tobacco lawyer...
Tullos I think paid for a smith county history and genealogy book
My gggg grandpa was Pappy tom sullivan....the founder ..his grandpa was from Ireland ...he died 18040S I think
Had two wives same time and is buried in the hollow
Piney woods Hatfields and McCoys
I think the Sullivan main rivals were the Crafts and the Knights from Jones county who they viewed as traitors to Dixie
Although few in smith county due to soil had over a few slaves each
One lady is Taylorsville had a large spread with around 20 slaves for cotton....soil was better for cattle and vegetables and of course timber like now
Feral basketball.
My mother’s family were Thornton’s. They married Crafts, Burns, Tillsons, Bounds, Thompsons, and Tullos. My cousin used to run some chicken houses up by Burns. They are all long gone now. They either moved or have passed away.
We used to hunt up by Pineville in the National Forest. I remember the old store.
I didn’t, and I ‘ll bet I can correctly fill in the blanks.
It’s coming.
No stable 2 parent family. No discipline.
Feral is as feral does.
Yutes doing what Yutes do.
I wonder how many more decades will it take for it to dawn on people that separation is the only solution to this dysfunctional marriage.
I guessed right.
How about Juvie?
This is just one of the reasons there is a nation-wide shortage of officials.
High School officiating can pay pretty well, but no matter how good you are, if you are not part of the good-old-boy network, good luck in getting many games.
Deep State is turning America into a lynch mob.
If both teams are not immediately kicked out of the league, then that’s the problem
“youth”
Same as “teen/teens”
The other two refs stood around and watched
Hey, don’t ask racist math questions....
