He was charged with a misdemeanor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Feb. 22.Hill's arraignment is Tuesday.Hill is expected to be assigned to an ``opportunity'' or ``alternative'' school Friday, allowing him to continue progressing toward graduation.Jefferson County's school board meets March 14, and at that time County Superintendent Phil Barker can decide if further punishment is warranted for Hill.The school board has several options it can take, including reinstating Hill to Jefferson County High or expulsion.``I fully expect Carlton to re-enroll and be eligible for all phases and manners to play Bulls football,'' said Collins, also a Jefferson County assistant football coach last season.Barker could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Hill and his mother, Christine Ford, have no comment, Collins said.Hill was rated one of the nation's top quarterbacks after throwing for 1,764 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions as a senior. He also rushed for 888 yards, averaging 6.1 yards per carry, and 12 touchdowns.< Brett McMurphy < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He unfortunately made the mistake all 19 year olds do, and didn't wait till he was in the back seat of his fathers car... I Mean Come On Carlton, Do It Right ! On the serious side, I'm very glad the whole 19 year old vs. 16 year old stat. **** thing didn't raise its ugly head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let's hope Carlton learns something from this experience and it is the last time. ``I fully expect Carlton to re-enroll and be eligible for all phases and manners to play Bulls football,'' said CollinsI assume Mr. Collins realize that Carlton Hill's life will have more than football in it . If so, he should be more precise in choosing his words. How about graduating HS and then enrolling as a student at USF? Take care of that and keep the athletics in perspective.

Don't think he will be a contributor until his Jr. year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
