Another huge piece of this story was the offseason, tragic death of their former HC Eric Hogg. Webster went 6-5 in 01 & lost all five of their games by 7 points or less; in 02 they returned everybody, and like a many of our rural-small county schools across the state...they were waiting on "this group". In May of 2002; at project graduation..Coach Hogg was playing basketball in the gym w some of the graduating seniors that night & died of...

It's not that they are tired of them matching up; if Central brought a crowd that was half of what Belfry has they'd match them up all day long for a bit longer.... There isn't a bigger Central fan (especially Scroggins era) on here than me, but they just don't bring a crowd... That's the even deeper and likely real reason for what was done.

Agreed, but to do it like college & NFL (and, they start the week after Labor Day)? C'mon...that makes too much sense (insert sarcasm. With that said; school starting at/around/even before August 1st has pushed the fall sports start date up...or had a lot to do with it). The rest? Arguments for and against.....the most strongly I feel about is when the season ends; keep it the 1st week of December. That's not actually all new; it seems like...
