DEL.ICIO.USRoad Trip: Kentucky commits to visit Lexington
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Heritage tight end Justin Jones and South Forsyth quarterback Brian Adams, two class of 2009 recruits who committed to Kentucky in June, will attend at least three of the Wildcats’ home games during the upcoming season.
They plan to carpool to Commonwealth Stadium on the weekend of Oct. 11 and be on hand when coach Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks roll into town.
They’ll make the five-plus hour trip from Atlanta to Lexington on Interstate 75 again on consecutive weekends in November to watch Kentucky host Georgia and Vanderbilt.
Jones said he and Adams became friends during junior day at Kentucky in 2007.
“We both stayed after camp that day and met [Kentucky assistant] coach [Joker] Phillips,” Jones said. “Ever since then, we’ve gone to camp at Kentucky together, hung out and kind of connected.
“And now we’re going to room together at Kentucky.”
Jones admitted that he might catch some additional SEC action this fall at a rival school.
“All of my friends are Georgia fans,” he said. “So I may go to some of Georgia’s home games, but only as a [college football] fan.”

You might not find this article compelling, but the kids are fun to watch on Friday night. When my kid has an off night at West Forsyth I hope to go watch Brian play at South. He is a great athlete that will be playing QB at South but WR at KY. Come out and support these kids if you are not too busy getting liquored up for the big UGA game the next day.
