I have heard your commentaries on WLPA-AM, as well as read your articles on line and in the piece distributed at the Barnstormers game on Friday August 1 criticizing the School District of Lancaster for not having better athletic teams. You maintain that if the district would perform better on the football and baseball fields (for example) there would be more for the students to be proud of and more reason for them to stay in school.
Has it occurred to anyone on your staff to check the academic eligibility of the student athletes in the School District of Lancaster? The problem with the athletic teams may not be in the coaches, athletic department or even administration. It may well be the fact that student athletes are not maintaining the grades they need to compete on the field.
You tout yourselves on your investigative endeavors. Why not start investigating this before you criticize again?
Editor’s response: No matter who shows up, there is no excuse for coaches not knowing how to conduct drills and teach skills.
