I was just looking at an old high school yearbook of mine (1969) and could not help but notice the team was mostly white with some above average players. We intergrated two years before and had a large number of blacks attending school. I am a big follower of our team and could not help but notice the team went from majority white to almost completely black in a span of about 15 years.
I being the racist i am,asked a white parent who had a son on the team.What the heck was going on with the white kids?He told me the coaches (white head coach) did'nt let the whites try out for the positions they played on jvs.He told them and the parents that they did not have the skills to play the skilled positions in high school.
He then said most of the white parents would rather their kids playing another sport in hope of getting some kind of scolarship aid,such as soccer, baseball or swimming.
I told him they would have to prove to me my son did'nt have the skills before they moved him to another position.He then said they did'nt want the black parents to think they were racist,so they just went along to get along.That is the way football is being playing football in N.C.
