JohnStark : Considering I am a coach of a boys team at one of the three schools, I am guessing you did not seek the right coaches to seek an opinion from. Funny how you used track and wrestling as the baseline for your scale of promoting athletics. The problem with the overall decline in participation in sports in Warwick is a sharp decline in population (thus declining the enrollment at each school) and the fact that pre-HS sports participation is not becoming affordable for some. Combine that with stricter academic standards to be even able to participate, and you are obviously going to have some sort of decline. But to make such a broad statement as you made is a cheap shot to all the coaches in the this city that go out there, put their heart and sole into it, and try to make a difference.

Funny again how you keep leaving Hendricken out of this whole thing. Wonder why? Having played against the school in the 90's in several major sports, I can assure you the Hendricken teams of the 90's would clean up against the teams of the present. So I guess because they get the numbers, that's ok. Even though the quality of play is down. But then again, it's hard not to get the numbers when you give scholarships to whoever you want for sports.
