The election ended up passing the resolution and the local high school got varsity football. Checking the net, I see we've had 6 losing seasons, one .500 season and two of those losing seasons were 0-11.

Now why aren't the Republicans complaining about this waste of taxpayer money?
DJP, I do know about how it goes in the Northeast, but in most of the South, Southwest and central US football is the cash cow. It funds the other programs.
