BlueDuckSaddle Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Eddy will be good for Dekalb. He will do things his way and won't be a puppet. Dekalb needs that! He is professional enough to do things right and will also be a great leader for the entire school district. Their kids will be better because of him and he will make Dekalb a better all around place. This may be a match made in heaven! Anxious to see what he can do with the Bears!
