The past week was filled of an array of media coverage concerning Kit Carson not fielding a football team ... a tradition that found themselves in the playoffs 21 out of the past 25 years.
I was very happy how our school welcomed the young men from Kit Carson onto our team and find that this situation can be very positive for all involved...but, particularly, for the kids... both Wildcat and Eagle.
Here is the latest installment in the media coverage with the main message being that small towns out here on the plains are slowly losing their kids
I urge you to join the Eads Eagles football team in welcoming five Wildcats who want to play football like their peers, brothers, and fathers before them. It could just as easily been us in this situation and I would hope our kids would have options such as those we have offered the Wildcats.
I am very proud of our football players....both "mammals" and "birds"

The next reasonable line of discussion is one about maintaining our rural communities. Topics ideas?
ReplyDeletePromoting Entrepreneurship. We have a selection of decent empty buildings and list of what is considered feasible business ideas. We also have a potential target market with an increasing number of Sand Creek visitors and our existing 3500 cars/trucks that pass through daily. A new business would probably equal another family in our rural community. On top of promoting the potential of entrepreneurship, our simple and quiet way of life is something to brag about!
ReplyDeleteThanks to the Eads Eagles for accepting the 5 Wildcats from Kit Carson onto their football team.
