Is this really Rigby's first State Championship in football?

- Big shoutout to Kuna! It‘s not every day that a 5a school wins 4a state football. Impressive stuff.
- Came down early to watch end of Sugar game and it reminded me why I dont like. Up 27 under 3 minutes left and they not only leave their starters on but doing reversed and long bombs. Way to win with class.
So, it looks like they will continue with a JV schedule? This is not the first school to cancel football this year. I have seen multiple news stories from around the country about schools doing the same. One that I saw was of a larger school that won a state championship only a couple of years ago.
What's the deal? Fear of concussion? Fear of contact in general by kids who simply have an aversion to pain? Other activities that don't require so much physical demands? Programs that have become perennial losers and thus kids do not want to participate; starting at the Jr. Tackle level who have seen the losing of the high school for years? Lack of community commitment to develop a strong program? Parents who have become so aggressive and demanding that their child get what they want, that good coaches want nothing to do with coaching???
