You were a solid addition to our team and our success. Many positive vibes going your way. Fighting back addictions is a huge hurdle and I am proud of you.

I fondly remember asking Coach Goins one day while walking to his office about the best player he has ever coached, and he pointed to picture of Freddie Miles on the football board outside the gymnasium. Told me "son, this kid had gift from GOD, never seen anything before and after since then. Told me stories of spectaculars and college recruiters watching him during football practice and I even managed to find some old VHS football tapes of his games. This is former head coach with historic ties to Edison football teams in the 1960’s and coached some of the best athletes ever to come from Miami to say those words. Trip down old memory lane, almost 20 years now. I pray to GOD that he provides our brother Freddie shelter from harm and that he finds happiness wherever he is at. Much love to all on this board and shout out to Carlos Espinosa; for providing life experiences and true philosophy of wisdom. Well said. -ChrisCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991315377857918111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800715528740636917.post-76710142153372523432020-12-31T22:43:21.378-05:002020-12-31T22:43:21.378-05:00I went to school with Freddie Miles and he was a v...I went to school with Freddie Miles and he was a very close friend ,please let me know if you found him and what I can do to help Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836841300015912741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800715528740636917.post-17398593968468251872020-12-30T15:10:28.485-05:002020-12-30T15:10:28.485-05:00Great piece Carlos Great piece Carlos phoxybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416065056755377086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800715528740636917.post-82388672425976689302020-06-23T06:36:20.329-04:002020-06-23T06:36:20.329-04:00I too am an graduate from MSH Class of 1980.

As I was reading your story my memories went back to all of the glitter and glamour of Freddie Miles,Anthony Fredrick, and Carl sheffield such Glory days. The system and people,and his parents failed him and so many others. But I'm reminded that the Bible speaks of am I my brothers keeper. We should be. I pray that since you written this article you have had the courage to seek him<br />out and find his whereabouts and let us know if we can help him in any way.<br />God Bless<br />D. McDonaldD.

That was an amazing time in Hialeah and Miami Springs. I, too, often think about Freddie and always wondered what happened to him. Brownsville was a rough town back then and there were many kids like Freddie...saw it first-hand. This was an excellent story and I appreciate you telling it. I hope wherever Freddie is, that he has found God because ultimately, nothing else matters. Thanks, Carlos...God bless you.<br /><br />p.s. My wife graduated from MSH in 1982 as well.
