9th Grade Football Star Already Commits to LSU

Sunday night Dylan Moses, a ninth grader at University Lab High in Baton Rouge, Louisiana committed to play at the University of LSU. It was seen on twitter that he tweeted “Just committed to LSU #GeaxTigers!!” Except it's actually Geaux Tigers but there's still plenty of time to work that out. The 6 foot 1, 215-pound athlete already runs 4.46 40, he had already been looked at by Alabama as an 8th grader, and had been offered a scholarship last February little bit after their recent national championship. This kid is already regarded as the top recruit in the class of 2017 and he picked LSU over  Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Ole Miss, Nebraska, UCLA and Texas. Now all the coaches of those schools have plenty of time to persuade the kid to recommit from LSU. Needless to say though this young man committed to a college a little early.

Mom Charged in Slayings of Daughter, and Autistic Son

42 year old Marilyn Edge has been charged with killing her 13 year old daughter and 9 year old autistic son in California. This comes after she had lost custody of the children last Wednesday and the judge had ordered the kids to go back to Georgia with their father. Marilyn claims the children were poisoned but yet she was charged Monday on two a counts of murder with special circumstances. The children were found dead in a Santa Ana hotel room. Mark Edge was informed on Sunday about this and was taken to a nearby hospital for duress. If Marilyn Edge is convicted she could be eligible for the death penalty. This is important to know about this because this is what is wrong with our society today. This lady loses custody and instead of giving her kids up to her husband she kills them. At least let your kids be happy and still be alive, its just ridiculous how something like this can happen.

Wildfire Scorches More Than 3,700 Acres

On Sunday a wildfire in the hills east of San Francisco Bay burned about 3,700 acres by late Monday. This has now become latest of the California fires this summer. They don't really know when the fire will be completely put out, but they did say it may clear up by Wednesday. They do have about 700 firefighters state and local working on putting it out with 85 engines 30 fire crews and 2 air tankers. The fire was also very close to a Pacific Gas line, so they worked furiously to push that back first, while the fire kept spreading during that. They also have evacuated 11,000 people from their homes in danger of this fire. This is important because this puts a lot of lives in danger and really destroys California every summer when they have these fires. There are also a lot of firefighters working on putting this out, putting themselves in danger. The real importance of this is lives and the destruction it does, this fire needs to stop.

Marijuana Use On The Rise

Over the years the National Survey on Drug use and Health found that the percent of Americans 12 and up who use marijuana is up from 5.8% in 2007 to 7.3% in 2013. Some think it is up because America is taking a softer stance on marijuana. Now the Justice Department just announced it will not challenge challenge states that have legalized marijuana. Before this users in legalized could still face prosecution. Also the use illicit drugs have gone up over the years, right now we're at 9.2% of the population use illicit drugs. Which is nearly 24 million Americans are using these drugs and marijuana is the most used out of all the illicit drugs. This is all very important to know because we don't want these number going up, like they are. The public needs to be aware that this many people are using these drugs and we need to stop this from going up. It also is important because it shows how many people are getting into drugs now especially teens, because this is all us of 12 and up. I think it's important for people to be aware of this and know it has to be stopped and start to decline instead of rise.
