COMMUNICATIONS
In reading Tuesday’s article
about the sad plight of the Tryon
football team, it seems to me that
it is time that level headed men
and women get together and work
out a plan to save our school ath
letics. I have been in close con
tact with the athletic activities
at Tryon school for many years,
and over that period of time the
same problem has been poor at
tendance. Lack of fan support
has not been due to lack of inter
est, but for the inability to attend
the games at home at the time
when they have to play. High
school ?ames are played on Fri
day afternoons when working
people just can’t go. Selling sea
son tickets has been tried and that
has not been the answer, for
reason that it still doesn’t give
fans a chance to attend. A team
needs fan attendance and not just
money alone for it takes both to
make a good team. I am sure that
with a plan worked out by a re
sponsible group that we can save
our team and school from the
embarrassment of having to aban
don our king of high school sports.
A plan can also be worked out
where Tryon can have a band as
other schools have, and it takes
athletics to inspire a desire for
a band. Now, I am not sticking
my neck out to start an argument
or get anyone in an uproar, but
as I see it now, we have a prob
lem that needs attention right now
and not tomorrow. Are you will
ing to do something? I am, be
cause I am a friend to our school
children. Curt Eargle.
