Southwind Star Wideout Commits to
 Grambling State University


Dominique Jabari Leake
Dominique Jabari Leake

Over the weekend of January 21st, Southwind Wide Receiver Dominique Leake became the first commitment of 2012 after giving a verbal agreement to SWAC champion Grambling State University. After a phenomenal senior season, in which he led the team with 38 receptions, 685 yards, and 13 touchdowns, Leake was vigorously recruited by the Tigers of Grambling, becoming one of their top targets for the offseason.

After a solid junior year, Leake worked hard in the offseason to improve as a receiver. On his summer improvement Leake stated, “I just felt that I improved greatly overall. I became faster, stronger, and smarter as a player.”

His work culminated in the Music City Showcase 7 on 7 tournament that was held over the summer at the University of Vanderbilt. His strong hands, deep threat ability, and just being able to score first caught the eye of college coaches there and impressed not only his coaches, but his teammates. He earned the moniker “Grindtime” for his efforts and impressive Pre-Season performances in scrimmages against city powers Whitehaven and White Station.

His success transferred over to the fall as well as he was used primarily to stretch the field and as the primary playmaker in the passing game of the record breaking Jags’ Offense. With a strong senior class headed by players such as Leake, the Jags finished 7-3 and secured their first post season appearance in school history. Leake stated, ” We did a tremendous job as a team and made a statement that you can win here at Southwind.”

On what made him commit to Grambling State, Leake cited the environment and players, “They treated me like one of their own and I just loved the staff and players.”

Though Grambling is roughly 5 hours from Memphis the distance did not deter Leake, ” Off the field I’m just ready to get a degree in Criminal Justice and meet new people.”

Leake is expected to sign with the Tigers on National Signing Day, February 1st. He also held offers from Tennessee State, Lane College, Mississippi Valley State, and Morehead State amongst others.

 ANNOUNCING THE GREATEST EVENT EVER


THE GUY FAMILY REUNION 2013
 

THE DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR JULY 17TH – JULY 21ST 2013
 

THE PLACE HAS BEEN STAKED OUT – WHISPERING WOODS HOTEL AND CONFERENCECENTER LOCATED IN OLIVE BRANCH MISSISSIPPI. 

 

THE THEME HAS BEEN DECIDED 

“WE ARE CHAMPIONS – KEEP THE GUY FIRE BURNING”

 

Well on a lighter note, here I am writing my heart out to each of my family members.  Our family reunion is a time for celebration,  we have been around as the Guy Family for a long time.  Our heritage reaches back over 200 years and this is our time to leave a legacy for our generations to come.  I truly hope that everyone that reads this will try to make it in 2013 and that you will encourage your children, your sisters, your brothers, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins near and far to come and fellowship with family.  Our reunion is only every other year.  We moved it to Whispering Woods in order that we would be able to have a retreat atmosphere and a place where all the activities could be held and family could truly get a chance to know each other and to build memories.  We realize that for some it will be a first time experience, for some it will be a true adventure, but I guarantee that you will not have a better time, find better entertainment, and get more love anywhere else.  You see the cruise line does not have anything on our reunion, you see the other resorts has nothing on ours.  Think about your elders when making this decision, we do not want the only time we have a gathering to be a sad singing flower bringing occasion.  We do not want the only time that we break bread together to be at someone’s homegoing repass, they are not there.  We want to celebrate life to the fullest.  So as you make up your minds what to do for family vacation for 2013, make a decision to come and be with family, to reunite ties, to make memories, to just sit and be loved on and to love on family.  Remember family is like fudge, very very sweet with a mixture of nuts, but it takes all of the ingredients to make it this way, and if you are missing, the fudge will not be as sweet.  Family ties are precious threads , no matter where we roam, they draw us closer to those we love, and pull our hearts toward each other, and the love that is shed abroad in the Guy Family is like no other.  So today again I say give your parents a chance to really visit with their family at a happy occasion with 5 days filled with more love than can be held in the biggest cup, that will overflow with memories for years to come.  Give your children a chance to truly meet their family, don’t let it always be when there is a just time enough to not even say hello, or someone is falling all over the place.  Before we as African Americans knew about all these other events, our families were the most important thing there was, and guess what our families is still the most important thing there is.  So come and get some of the love, come and make some of the memories, come and touch the heart of your family and let your family be touched by your heart.  See you in 2013.

 Bearing The Load

As a bear ventures through unknown territory, he is marking the way for many others to follow.  Because he took steps in a different direction, a new path was created for future bears who will use that same trail for generations, placing their feet in the exact same spot every time they walk the course. Their adventurous vision has created a remarkable path that will be traveled for years to come.

Thanks to our Guy Family Ancestors for being Trailblazers !!!
