With such a great program it is shocking to not see any kids from this School making it to the big league what up with that?

"Declared Inactive..." didn't they go to church? What does that mean? Like DNPCD?

Some local players are doing quite well. That's terrific.

The odds of making the NFL are so miniscule. Most of these guys are freaks of nature with their size, speed, and general tenacity. As you can see no high school in Utah has produced more than two NFL players and Provo, though it has struggled mightily in football over the years even losing to Timpview for 18 straight years or something, has one NFLer and Timpview still has one. The real message for high school football players--get an education because the odds of playing on Sundays is microscopic (and by the way Kirk Chambers has his Master's Degree from STANFORD!)...
