The girls program is the issue here. They are just not ready to compete.
Don't count out the Beechwood parents getting involved in this though. This AD is a lot more proactive about all sports than the former one was.
Football is no longer the only sport at Beechwood. The success they have had on the baseball field has only proved that success is possible in other sports.
I would hate to think Beechwood could lose a good coach, Rick Schumate, by deciding to not take the next step to improve there Basketball program by staying in DIII in its present set-up.
