Good-looking article Dusty. It got edited before I had a chance to check it out, and everything looks fine. Lots of comments too!

Thanks for getting me to check out your stuff Dusty. Both pieces are edited. As far the Joe Bleacher postings, don't worry about it—but it is a bit strange. I'm going to investigate that a little bit.

Going to White Station with Dane Bradshaw and J.P. Prince was awesome. We also had several other guys that ended up playing at the collegiate level that were a part of that same team. I think we won 4 state championships out of a 5 year period while they were on our team. And our rivals, Ridgeway, had guys that ended up playing collegiate basketball too such as Pierre Niles of Memphis. So it was definitely a fun time to go there.

Also White Station currently has a couple guys who are top 100 prospects and both are highly considering coming to UT. So that's pretty exciting for me too.

Also, there is a LAX page but I didn't see a Community Leader there...you might push that.

Feel free to bother me when you post up. I'm good at spreading the word.

You asked: "How did you get such a high writer ranking and only writing 24 articles."

I honestly have no idea, I got 3 POTDs and 1,000+ reads apiece too, I'm clueless. My stuff made a lot of NASCAR blogs and websites back in the day.

Oh, and I'm an editor. I edit alot...and Community Leader for Auto Racing. And I have a lot of fans that I interact with constantly...and I comment, post on BB's and POTD alot too. I belong to 41 different communities.

They tell me that it's a numbers deal and no human is involved in rankings...
