We have a similar issue with some great Middle School kids not making the transition to HS. Some pick a sport like basketball to focus on which always drives me nuts since only 5 get on the court at one time and usually not the football guys.

I will say the turn around for Knox Central football began when a great couple of guy named David King and Steve Bailey brought Jr Football to Knox County. That directly benefited the MS and HS in ways that can't be measured but are obvious. That first District, Region, and maybe someday when Highlands dies off, State Banner should have a big thank you to those two for getting it off the ground and the dozens of volunteers who have ran it over the years since them.

This may be a little off topic here but, that is something that always drives me nuts as well!! There are some terrific football players that would rather focus solely on basketball and end up coming off the bench for most if not all of their career than be a starter for 2 or even 3 years in football and I will never understand it!
