I wasn’t aware!

Not surprised, a few years ago a neurologist here in Fort Wayne told me that High school football is slowly going away. He stated that concussion are the biggest threat. I know Dwenger's numbers are down. Mostly because several want to focus on Rugby. They play 8 man out in the western parts of the country. Honestly i have gotten board at games, the game has changed. With Lacrosse getting popular i wonder if that will replace football in 10 to 15 years. Hope not.

8-man is just football-lite.  

The real solutions are:

1. Co-op programs.

2. School consolidations. 

 

I really like the idea of Co-Op programs. Not sure how it would work or be regulated, but the idea seems good.

The IHSAA needs to push for co-oping. Would the coaches' association get behind it? @Coach Nowlin
