Not talking about McComb dropping football I am talking about a school that has 20 kids go out three get hurt and are down to 17.
That year in and year out have only 20 boys go out. YOur not filling your stadium.
Soccer would be a bigger draw to a school, if they didnt' have football on friday nights. Parents and grandparents are still going to show up to the game no matter what sport the player is playing.
And I am not from putnam county ......I just used them as an example. I don't think fort Jennings has football and they have a successful soccer, and basketball programs.
Again... bad jr hi football out drawls varsity soccer. I totally disagree that more people would show up for a soccer game on friday night if football didnt exist.
