Other kids do. While schools such as North, East and Central-Hower fight to put 40 kids in uniform, they see players from their neighborhoods playing at other city schools where winning is the norm. When it comes to high school football, open enrollment has helped the rich get richer. But even winning doesn't ensure more kids will try out the following season. I don't know why.
Coaches are willing to bend.
I won't hear a word from him. All kids have to do is communicate with us. The coaches really do want more kids playing football. They want a chance to help kids learn about discipline, hard work and the valuable lessons that still exist on the high school level.
