Football and basketball

Honestly, I don’t know. I hear kids talk about going to be with their friends more than I hear coaches “taking” kids. Being realistic, it’s difficult to sell kids on working hard and building something up from nothing when they could go to schools already known for winning. Also have to look at the lack of stability at schools that don’t perform well in athletics because coaches don’t stick around either. It’s easy to follow a winner. Not saying it’s right but I don’t think these coaches have to do much convincing if you ask me.

It is a grind like no other but despite any adversity that may come, it is rewarding when I see the kids pick up on the little things and apply them. There are some really good kids in Metro sports who just need people to stick with them through the tough times.

As a current Metro teacher and coach, this is spot on.

No team in MNPS is forfeiting any games and Republic isn’t a Metro school.

Beech - 28 Springfield - 14 Beech will struggle slightly on special teams and give up some good field position for Springfield to punch in a few, but Springfield will get stagnant on offense once Beech stops their running game. Could end early if Beech gets active with #5.

Hunters Lane and Republic should join forces
