“We couldn’t take the complaining anymore. He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time,” his mother Hunter told The News & Observer.

Black hopes to compete in championship tournaments that can net winners anywhere from $25,000-$80,000.00 a year in winnings.

Should Blake stay in school instead of risking all to possibly compete in tournaments?  Talk about it in our official forums area.
