DEL.ICIO.USSandy Creek WR Lane could opt for baseball over Tech football, others

Braxton Lane’s status as a football player is up in the air.
Lane, a wide receiver for Sandy Creek High in Tyrone, has spent most of the last three weeks pursuing his baseball interests. He played in Saturday’s AFLAC All-American Game in Los Angeles and is in Chicago this week for a similar event.
Lane has football scholarship offers from Georgia Tech, several SEC schools and Oregon. He is a member of the AJC’s Super Southern 100.
Sandy Creek coach Chip Walker said he has heard rumors that Lane would spurn football this season and concentrate on baseball.
“We don’t really know what he’s going to do,” Walker said. “If he does play, he’s going to be behind. But that’s probably the deepest position we have. We’re not going to beg anybody to play.”
Lane caught 55 passes for 1,055 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2007 and holds all of the receiving records at the school, which is the alma mater of Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson.

You’d definitely be better off playing baseball. Tech is on a downward spiral in football — self destruction. I can’t think of any other D1 schools that actually lessen the seating capacity in their stadiums … nope, not even one. I think the problem might be the type of student that Tech attracts. Smart, yes no doubt about that. But a smart kid that is very UNathletic. Punjabi, raja, Patel, Singh, etc. Smart kids, but not going to field a crowd for Saturdays on the flats. And the women, oh there is something about that dot that really drives me wild! SEXY!!
