[Fly Like a Duck]

A good enought coach can overcome lack of talent at Berea, they don't play a hard schedule.
Maybe he should have recruited the hallway more, should have done better with the weak schedule they played

The "recruiting the halls" theory is too easy to back on. There was a day in time where it might have been the be all end all, but not anymore IMO.

The issue? Soccer. Berea like many rural schools and/or 1A schools need to decide if they want football or soccer.

I know jack squat nothing about soccer, but I do know this....you better be able to run if you want to play. Just a guess, but Berea, like many others don't have enough of those kids to try and support both sports with them being in the same season.

Not to mention, they are literally screwed in other basketball and baseball w/in their district having to battle Southern and Central, so they lose kids because of that as well (was told this by someone close with great knowledge).

...but, the run of the mill reasons sound better (I long fell into that trap myself).
