The ‘powers that be’ are wrong in the way they have ‘destroyed’ some amazing school and community traditions.

Everyone in the valley that loves high school sports, cherished those cross-town rivalry game of the past.

Ending football season with Foothill/Amador, Livermore/Granada, etc were epic. Crowds that filled stands on both sides of the field. Community’s filled with banners and ribbons of support for their team. Talk on the street was all about the coming game. Enthusiasm!

Now, with the declining numbers of kids playing football at Foothill and Amador, this decision DOES put players at risk, and sends a negative message to programs hanging on by threads.

Your article points out these issues very well.

Kids are doing their part, but Adults are screwing things up. Shame on them.
