<p>Carolyn,</p>
<p>That is a sad story. I find it quite odd what happened, what is wrong with a school playing at its level. In fact, athletics at a smaller school is more broadly based across the student body. The district would have been better off athletically with the smaller school.</p>
<p>I am a big believer in athletics but as a co-cirricular activity. It is one of the ways students can earn a scholarship to college.</p>
