I had a losing season when I was in school and I dont remember the coaches having to beg me to play ! Sounds like a personal issue you have or you have never played ball! As i recall when the Bryants took the program the seniors they had were 3-27 so sounds like an improvement from where I If you have winning programs an your community backs you like GRUNDY fans did Friday night those kids walking the halls that are straddling the fence will come out and play. Everyone follows teams that win and wants to be a part of it. Yes you have those kids that love it also. They will be there no matter what. I have been talking about the other athletes if the wins and support are there they would be also!! That's a fact!sit! Have they lost some they should have won yes sir! Name one coach that hasn't ?! I dont agree with every call they make but a fan is there good or bad not just when they are winning, are you kidding me? Ive seen them pull a lot of first time football players out of the halls ! As far as the kids go in the hall I know there are good atheletes up there but once again football isn't for everyone that includes other atheletes!! If a team has to go 6-4 7-3 or better just for him to play there is a good chance that kid will fold when its all on the line ! Always play to win .... definately but, if you lose do you walk off the field.... nope! In my opinion the love of the game gets you through! When it comes to going to the next level I wish they could all go but, name 5 in the last six years that could have went.
