What I'm saying is there are good number of kids in small schools that don't play football and will 'specialize' in , let's say, baseball. There is nothing wrong with that if they so choose. Most small schools rely on their student athletes to participate in as many sports as they possibly are able.
I once lived in a 5A district where the AD was the Tennis coach. How many times has anyone seen that?
Goes back to the old argument when it comes to kids specializing in one sport. I’m not saying this is happening at West Hardin, but it’s difficult to put a winning football team on the field year in and year out if the kids don’t play. I wonder how many of these small schools in the area stress their track program. That’s where your overall program is built.
Now someone please help me off my soapbox. The balance isn’t as good any longer.
