I know Doniphan is a decent size school that does not have football. I've heard they may bring football back though, any truth to this?

Eugene does not have football and Russellville is suppose to be starting junior high seasons soon.

I believe Doniphan may have played a junior high season this year.

I believe they did play JV this year, with a hopes of playing varsity after next season?

I would love to see some of those schools around Doniphan and Clearwater pick it up. But the funds are hard to come by. A lot cheaper to play fall baseball than to start a football program.

 

[Gubbba Bump Shrimp]

I've heard rumors that Saxony Lutheran is considering picking it up, and there's a reason I didn't list Doniphan.

 

[MIZ...ZOU]

Clever?

Clever?

Has started a program.

Isn't there some issue at Cape Notre Dame with some wealthy Alum who made a huge donation that was contingent on the school NEVER adding football? I am old and may have dreamed that notion...but I could swear I heard that from somebody? Anybody know why a school with over 700 kids would not have football?

That 700 includes the multiplier, but the point remains the same, that's a relatively large school to not have football.

I've heard the same thing about a donor, but have no idea if it's true or a local urban legend.

A couple of there largest donors are huge on communist kickball and anti football

Purdy has over 210 in high school now. Back in the 70's and 80's they started building a football stadium you can still see the outline of the track and where the field would be not sure why they stopped. They have now built two softball fields on the football field.

Thanks for the info!! I love hearing about these schools starting up football especially in this day in age where football is under attack in the media. I know Forsyth and Clever will be playing varsity football soon.

 

[oldbaldguy85]

I heard that Bayless was going to start up football next cycle. Would figure they would be around class 3 under the existing classification system.

Fatima doesn't have football either and they have the enrollment for it. Linn and New Bloomfield are two more.

That is correct.

I think I have watched the documentary about that.

Must not be related to the Drury's from Valle/Ste Gen if they don't like football...

They indeed are not
