They have struggled to get kids out. I think a lot had to do with the previous coaches personality. If it is not fun kids will not play. You have to go recruit them. I think Coach Chappel is trying to do that now. Coach Black was notorious for grinding kids to death. Not many 15-19 year-olds want to spent 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year on football.

well said.it has to be fun.a lot of hard work is put in,but in the end its still a game,and the kids that put months of hard work in at least want to see the field.in the past it has been political and they had their favorites.. hopefully they are getting away from that.
