    Just caught wind of a rumor that there will be NO VARSITY FOOTBALL at Draughn HS next year. Any truth to that rumor?

    Haven't heard,

    but it wouldn't surprise me. If we needed the two new high schools, then the rising juniors should have to go to the school in the district they live in.

    Did they really expect the rising seniors to leave EB and go to Draughn? That EB team should do well in the upcoming season, I don't blame them for staying.

    Once again they messed up, you'd think they would have learned from the Patton debacle....:splat:

    At least they didnt wait till a week before the season started.This should give teams plenty of time to find a game.

    I would

    have thought with rising juniors and sophomores you could field a varsity team to play one year of a 1A/2A schedule and your freshmen class would be your JV team but I guess not. Now, I guess the rising juniors will have the choice to go to EB and then stay for their senior which would put Draughn behind two years in football. I don't think anyone expected the rising seniors to leave EB.

    Draughn Football Situation

    At some point, the Varsity team will be sophomores and juniors....it would probably have been easier this year with the 1A/2A conference, than it will be year after next, when I guess Draughn will field a varsity team with next years Freshmen and Sophomores, who will still be 10th and 11th graders, and competing in a tougher CVAC 2A....I still believe the athletes in this school district could have been competitive this year, and be ready for the CVAC as primarily Juniors and Seniors....you have got to start somewhere....Patton will be playing Varsity ball this year with just a few Seniors, due to the one year gap of not having a varsity....and then next year moving to a tough 2A-3A conference......just my opinion:36:
