For Hoptown’s opponents, “Pork Chop” is starting to be too much to stomach
Just who in the Hell do the Hoptown Tigers think they are? Don’t they know that every star from off their 2016 team is gone via transfer, graduation, or quitting. I mean, come on man, their quarterback and two-time District Player of the Year transferred to an Academy in […]
