I recently had an opportunity to speak to some of the people involved in the upcoming alumni game featuring Wash High and Trinity. According to these individuals this game was offered to Trinity first, to be held at Hiller field and allowing Trinity to reap the benefits of somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000. Now please understand not everyone agrees that this game is a good idea, and the 15 to 20 thousand dollars is purely speculative from the promoter, however this game could have easily assisted in offsetting pay for play costs and/or booster purchases. (Booster purchase will be discussed in my next blog).
Why? You ask would we have not at least met to decide if this was something we could have done. The promoter had the expense, the insurance, the uniforms and all of the paperwork along with most of the other costs. The school has to use boosters to man the gates and sell tickets and anything else the boosters would like to sell. Seems like a no brainer, however according to the people involved our School Board President stated we were not interested. I guess that is all I need to say on that subject
The School Board President likes to make a lot of decisions without consulting the board members....or should I say all of the board members. Day, Interval, Clutter and McWreath are athletically challenged at best and their resolutions are often.....DUMB!
