I agree with the LVO comments. Without a Harrison feeder
program, LVO was the only east side program for football. When
my son played, there were very few in the Harrison school
district playing. Fall baseball was popular and the boys weren't
interested in football. It was as intense as you can get. I
compared it to my high school practices. It wasn't fun even
though my son's teams never lost a game.  Boys will play the
sports their friends are interested in. You have to start early
on the east side. I would actually start with a short 3rd and
4th grade flag football season if money is an issue. Make it
available for as many to play as possible. Make it a fun and
positive experience and encourage high school players to
volunteer as coaches or refs. The kids will like getting to know
the older players.  It isn't a quick or easy fix, but the
earlier it starts, the better they will be. I would love to be
involved in this if anything ever gets organi
