Today’s News-Leader has a couple of stories under the banner “What Took The Air Out of Springfield Football?“. The Springfield Public Schools football teams have a combined record of 3-27 on the season. Glendale football is 1-5. The feature, of course, includes the obligatory soccer hurts football angle:
When [Paul] Mullins was a coach at Greenwood, he said he saw interest in football decrease when the soccer program started.
“Soccer has come on strong and taken away from the skill positions,” he said, meaning football’s quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers.
Later in the story…
[SPS athletic director Mark] Fisher conceded that, while participation in football in the city is up, the won-lost records don’t lie. “When you look out there, the big, strong, athletic kids, they’re not out there,” Fisher said. “That’s not a knock on our kids, but the numbers don’t lie.
