Damn, there is a one in three chance he attends my school. He is probably a 7th grader, but could be an eight grader. I am also worrying he could have been one of my athletes. what if what if.

May 1, 201213 yr Author Not one of ours. The rental company rented the jet skis to two adults and the dad and his friend allowed the kids to operate the pwc without the proper training. These units had 115 hp engines with top speeds around 50mph. The kids were cutting in and around the fishing boat, doing donuts and finally lost control and steered right into the path of the fishing boat. That guy has to live with the accident. Sad all the way around.
