The grade school buddy leagues were done away with in favor of a "travel team" under Coach A's tenure. This is the main reason for lack of players. When you eliminate 80 or 90 players in favor of 10 this is what happens. A good high school coach "develops players" over time and a travel team coach uses players developed by somebody else. Travel team coaches are usually not very good for middle or high school programs because they don't have the ability to coach and develop players of varying skill levels.

Very, very good point. :Thumbs:

I'd like to see LC as a school district have a school sponsored youth program for every sport. As it stands now, and correct me if I am wrong, there are NO school sponsored sports until Middle School. You look at most of the surrounding counties and each school has a School sponsored basketball, football, cheer leading, etc. team. If it wasn't for some involved parents stepping up and taking the lead there would be no youth sports in LC whatsoever.
