Norman Griffith, a D1 prospect, was shot in the head Friday night, apparently doing the right thing. Killed Pahokee football player tried to avoid conflict -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com Ridiculous. It happened in a dangerous part of town, but that entire area is dangerous. Pahokee heads to South Carolina for a game against nationally ranked #1 Bynes this Friday on ESPNU. Will be interesting to see how they respond.
read this story this morning.....what an absolute JOKE....they give themselves the reputation they have....i lived in wellington my whole life, played against glades central and pahokee......and the ONLY way they get outta that town is football....and people like that POS that pulled the trigger and killed that kid is a jealous loser that will never leave muck city enless he's on a chain gang in a jump suit coleaning southern blvd....... this poor kid is dead now, a captain and football player that was almost in college.....trying to make a good life for himself.....then some gangsta kills him.....there is a absolute special place in hell for that monster.....and I hope he see's it sooner rather than later

Belle Glade is a VERY scary city. Its sad that a youngster with so much talent has become a statistic like so many others in that part of the state.
with the economy the way it is, you'll see more of that everywhere. people that have no respet for life, that can't take care of themselves figure its easier for the taxpayers to do it. it was getting that way in So. California, thats why i left.
I was born in Belle Glade and grew up in the area. It's very true, football is 'the' ticket out for a lot of these kids. Nah, I didn't know this kid. The sad thing is, that may well be what he thought he was avoiding.
I read this on a Canes site the other day. This is terrible. A couple weeks ago, another player in Pahokee got shot in the hand. Thankfully, he wasn't killed by a shot in the head. My prayers go out to the family members affected. I remember watching a video on Fred Taylor and him saying how difficult it was growing up in Pahokee. He was saying how all the players over there don't have anything so they just focus on football like you all mentioned. They have incredible work habits over there. In the video, the teenagers and Taylor were chasing rabbits to improve their speed and man were they fast. Pahokee has some incredible talent come out of there. I wish all residents the best of luck in the future.
damn.. that sucks. just plain and simply sucks. its a shame this happens so often in society nowadays. Such a shame it comes to this so many times now. Such a shame a talented kid as himself... actually that doesnt even matter. Its just a shame that a kid, trying to do good for himself, and trying to do the right thing and just walk away... ends up loosing his life. Thoughts and prayers to his family... what a shame..
They've arrested two teenagers The kid accused of firing the fatal shot is Glades Central's JV quarterback. For clarification, the 'club' mentioned is the local Boys & Girls Club. Father says son didn't kill Pahokee player The QB's father vehemently denies his son did anything wrong. Says his son was at home asleep at the time. Kid has a record though. Read the story for photos and more.
I hear ya brother. This is a story that just makes your stomach turn. Any follow up ? Have they caught the killer(s) yet ?
