Rebel Yeller Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 I have been amazed during my years in Evadale at the number of students, guys and girls that participate in athletics. I do not have the numbers to back this up, but I would be surprised if the percentage of guys in sports was less than 80% and under 70% for the girls. The Rebels had varsity and JV squads in football, boys and girls basketball, baseball and guys track. They even had freshman teams in volleyball and could of had one in girls basketball. This is an extraordinary feat considering the fact that even larger schools in our district are unable to start or maintain these teams throughout a full season. I played high school sports back in the day (a long time ago) in a 5A school and only a few were given the opportunity to participate in multiple sports, but I have just been so surprised that soooo many students in Evadale not only play, but play at numbers that allow so many the opportunity to play on teams.
dayton Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 that's the way it should be.... it make the sports better and keeps kids out of trouble with grades and otherwise. I wish we had that percentage in Dayton.
