There seems to be a lot of discussion and speculation about this situation...it seems simple to me--reschedule.
To the football team, this means nothing being a non-district game--and they DON'T have to have cheerleaders or drill team, but these girls tried out and made the squad and IT IS important to them. Also, it is important to play a district VB game. But in a small school, where kids do multiple activities, they are pulled. Though it means nothing to most people...to travel w your cheer or drill team to Houston for a football game IS a big deal to teenagers. These girls made a committment to both and it is unfortunate to all. They did pay alot of money for cheer and drill, BUT they did commit to their coach for VB.
Is it that big of a deal to reschedule? Maybe it is, I really don't know. I think it is wise for Coach to say "no comment". To be honest, people would rip her apart if she commented...
