So what is the seperate sports section for?

Since 95%, or more, of the rest of the school systems in this state have their own nice football stadium and facilities, then one would have to think that your statement above would also apply to them, as well.

Me thinks that you are suffering from 'little man's syndrome'. I could have said that you are suffering from something else, but it wouldn't be appropriate for this forum.

With all due respect,

You have the correct answer but maybe you answered the wrong question. There is no doubt that High school sports have a place in Lamar County. My concern is not with the student athlete that understands he will some day have to be a productive member of society. The ones that will change the oil or build your pool or check out your groceries. My concern is with the community that elevates the athlete over the student. As I said in an early post, let us please reward the academic team as much as the foot ball team. Let us reward test scores as much as touchdowns. I am a football fan - High School, College and Professional. All right thinking people understand that a very small percentage of High School kids will never make money playing this game no matter how much they love it. Let us please pay as much attention to academics as we do athletics. I hope I am wrong but I do not see this practiced in our county.

Thank you.

Yep, a little update about what's going on at the rec dept. this fall, under the new regime would be interesting to read. Updating the rec dept. website would be great, too. BTW, what's the url for the website, if anybody knows?
