Are you fed up that Eastern cut sports teams. The citizens asked the Board of Ed not to, or at least make it pay to play. As an avid bowler, I believe it is ridiculous that Eastern disassembled bowling, swimming, indoor track, golf, and competition cheerleading.
Eastern can cut other things instead of these sports to make up for budget deficits please support the cause.
Kids make friends, have fun, and learn life skills through the sports they participate in the sports. Also, the coaches make a relationship with each and every kid they coach.
On the other hand,by cutting sports, the school is hurting the places where the participants practice at and compete at. For example, in golf the golf course will lose money if high schools were to cut sports. Likewise, bowling alleys will take a hit if there are no high school teams to bowl at the alley
In closing, the sport cuts do not just affect the students and coaches alike, but also the businesses that chose to support the teams.

Think about the local businesses that depend on having us there. Bowling alleys and golf courses will suffer. Very short sighted by the school board.

My son played on the bowling team all 4 years and it gave him something to look forward to every day. Dont take this away from the future kids.

Stupid decision. Athletics teach way more than a textbook ever could.
