http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1010325Like every other high school football coach in this city, Antoine Peterson had heard the buzz about the new quarterback at Maranatha. How the kid had transferred in from North Carolina, had trained with one of the top private quarterback coaches in the country and had impressed the locals with his accuracy and arm strength in summer passing camps. Then there was his apparent willingness to do whatever it takes to get a college scholarship.
The presence of a film crew, which Keith welcomed to follow him, suggests he's a self-absorbed, 18-year-old. But he has connected with his teammates and remains friendly and courteous to everyone he meets. And he and his family are deeply religious.
The presence of Keith's father, who tracks his son more closely than the film crew does, suggests he's the product of an overzealous and overbearing dad. But Greg Keith, who does attend all games and almost all practices, stays in the background and has made no demands of the coaches or his son.
The presence of a private quarterback coach - not to mention the personal speed coach and strength coach that worked with Keith in the offseason - suggests out-of-control spending from a parent convinced it will pay off in the form of a scholarship. But Greg Keith, who has more than enough money to pay for it all thanks to his real estate company in Charlotte, N.C., wonders why anyone would object to a father helping his son in any way he can afford.:puke:
