MMcGiveron: Actually, it is not my opinion, but rather the opinions shared with me by coaches at all three schools. Kevin Pomeroy has done an outstanding job of promoting athletics at the three schools, given the prevailing tide of apathy that surrounds these programs, especially on the boys' side. If you really believe that 14 kids on an indoor track team or 15 on a wrestling team is reflective of broad interest and promotion, so be it. Just know that a majority of athletes, and coaches in the state see such administrative apathy as a disservice to kids in those schools. That's not only "easy to say", but quite obvious. Closing a school would help. But somehow I don't see the city's wealth of caring professionals embracing that concept. Better to hope that the interscholastic league will invent Division 5 football or Division 4 basketball.
