Principal says football meeting drew parents, school to run JV/hybrid schedule
Summary
After a meeting with the coach and parents, the principal said 16 athletes were engaged and the district will pursue a JV schedule and hybrid eight- and nine-man games; coaches and parents are organizing to support teams and fundraising.
The principal reviewed a follow-up meeting with the football coach and parents and said 16 athletes were involved in planning for the coming year. She said parents were "ready to move forward," were discussing volunteering and fundraising (duck races and other events), and had been encouraged to form a support group to relieve pressure on coaches.
Athletics staff are planning a primarily Monday game schedule and a JV approach this year; the principal noted two athletes on the list are being watched for next-year eligibility and that some contests may be hybrid eight- and nine-man games. She also reviewed conference and cooperative changes: Enterprise is shifting conferences, the Blue Mountain Conference will be five teams next year, and district cooperative alignments for track, soccer and other sports are under review. "We have 16 athletes, I think," the principal said when summarizing attendance at the parents' meeting.
The board discussed travel and hosting for two-day district track meets and the need to plan for increased costs or facility use; the principal said she will petition to host two-day meets at Hermiston to avoid rental charges at a university facility.
