Now quite frankly we don't live in a traditional football hotspot. I can't understand why, on Long Island, a lacrosse hotbed for decades, any A.D. will spend more money on football than lacrosse.
NO KIDDING! It's like that in my district, too, and our football team pretty much stinks.
As for demanding better coaches, HAHAHA. In my district, any teacher who wants the coaching job gets it before it's offered outside the district. And not once that I know of has any coach been let go, that job is theirs for as long as they want it, regardless of wins/losses, crazy stunts, whatever. It absolutely stinks. We have spoken to our AD about a coach (not lax), laid out all the problems, were told that the AD would look into it. Lather, rinse, repeat. Nothing happens. By junior or senior year, no one will play for this coach, kids quit mid-year, AD knows, coach stays put. So, so frustrating as a player and a parent.
Sachem is worse. You have to kiss the ring of a Elementary Schools principles husband. to get your kid a shot at varsity, and if you do she still has to sit behind there undeserving , not nearly good enough 8th grader. We have a Jr. goalie that is very good, but she either sits or has to play behind a sophomore , that isn't half as good, (but friends with the husband,) because her dad and the afore mentioned husband have a conflict. These People are real low class bullies, guess who they play summer ball for
