From my understanding they are starting with JH and working up to HS. Football will require almost a whole new staff. Don't believe they have many coaches that have coaches football. 

@Tyerman also stated that this was most likely the plan if Onalaska were to start football.

He was referring to the current number of students that they have now without football being a part of the equation.

I understand that completly, I was just meaning with growth and the time it's going to take to get to that point, it would only be a guess as to which division they would be in.

I believe it is definitely time. I know many in the community have been pushing for it for a while now.

Yes it's been years since they've been asking about it but I'm glad that it may come to fruition now.

Yes I have spent over a year building a collection of data on start up costs. New school opens in January. Once we are fully operational there our district will be able to analyze the costs with our budget. The toughest part starting a football program is the start up costs as even when we start Jh only first we still have to buy all the start up equipment for the field to host games etc. 

I am 100% trying to make this happen. We have 3 coaches total on staff with varsity assistant football coaching experience including myself but yes we will be bringing in more coaches. 
 

we are open enrollment and always have been in my ten years here (not sure how long it’s been that way but before my time for sure). The biggest benefit to us adding football will be keeping kids in district. I’ve lost many talented players to neighboring districts because we don’t have football. We have a super strict policy when the district lets kids in based on their test scores, grades and discipline. That stuff won’t change. 
 

I want to add football as soon as we can and working hard on it. The community is young enough now that the majority want it as well for their kids. We saw just from the few sports we added in soccer, golf and wrestling the increase in our athletic department numbers which is a great first step to what we want. 
 

I hope Coldspring finds a good AD, they have some amazing kids and lots of talent for all sports that they should bounce back very soon especially with what they have in JH currently.

This Trojan for one prays that y'all get the football program up and running so that the kids can have an opportunity to play and live in the district and also makes for new rivalries (for football at least).  As far as our program goes the junior high kids is what we have to look forward to as far as the next talent goes although our JV was pretty decent this year.

Gotta change that mindset, sports is only about football. Coldspring’s girls programs have been pretty successful lately.

Kudos to the girls but I'm strictly talking about football here no offense.  That's where the majority of my posts you will see on here will involve only football and some basketball.
