Eric enjoyed a successful start to his Parkview High School track career setting the freshman record for the 100 meter dash at a blistering 12.54. The meet conditions were horrible with high winds, cold temperatures and snow flurries, but spirits were kept high even if the body temperatures had a hard time keeping up.

More importantly Eric maintained a healthy 92.8 GPA for his first semester of high school. That’s a little bit lower than his final GPA for middle school, but considering the additional challenges of multiple sports and an advanced placement curriculum, it’s an overall good start.

Eric: Parkview High School freshman football wingback sensation. Third place overall in the PHS Ironman competition. Career 93.6 cumulative GPA. Future architect and/or engineer. Hopes to attend Georgia Tech.
Neil: We don’t know about Neil yet. He’s either going to save the world or conquer and rule it as a tyrant. Just to be sure, it would be best to stay in his good graces. Neil is going to be a big boy and he’s already giving his brother a run for his money academically.
Most importantly,… they’re my boys… That being said, they’re killing us at the grocery store. Even the youngest out eats me. If they could be eliminated from the food bill, I could be driving around in a Corvette.
