Just curious about this meeting on August 2nd. If there isn’t enough players for them to go forward that day will a decision be made right there and then or will they hold out till the end of the week? I just think only giving everyone the two weeks before the season starts to fill those weeks of missing games is a shady deal. based on Josh Morgret's post, we should have a better idea on Thursday night when they have the parent meeting. I really feel that 8 man is imminent for many small schools and that will continue to shift the league dynamics of the area.

If they don't field a varsity team, can they play a JV season? How does that work? I Feel like if the numbers aren't there now, they won't be on aug 2. This is so sad. This should never happen at New London. There were obviously some bad decisions made along the way by those running the show. It's a Possibility that chasing out all the locals from the community and replacing them with people not from the area hurt New London. In a town like NL, where there is not much, people that aren't from the area will not stay long term!!! The list of good coaches/educators that have been ran out is noticable. Not sure there will be recovery. Maybe they are replacing personnel in the wrong areas. sounds like there is an issue with leadership in the school system or the culture is bad in the school system or community. If you are hemorrhaging people this badly.

I'm obviously frustrated with the situation, but my thought process is that of many. I have no idea of the why's, who's and what's, but honestly It's not sitting well with me to watch everything go to Uncle Eddie's chitter. In the end, I Wish NL nothing but the best and I'm hoping to get to watch a football season.

I agree with people thinking this could snowball from here. How many parents and students will start pointing fingers and putting blame on coaches or administrators. In the age of open enrollment and taking kids elsewhere this could get ugly and fast.

If you have 13 kids showing up right now is there really a thought that you will get an additional 20 to show up next Monday? Inform the opponents, reduce the coaching staff and notify the assigned officials. Play a JV Saturday morning schedule with only league teams without any age limits.(some schools still think Sr should not play Jv) Focus on the lower levels in building or keeping interest and see what next season brings.

I just don’t see it happening either cause now you are asking kids who have quit to come back and play or kids who didn’t want to play in the first place to come out for the team. Just call it a season right now and do a JV schedule. I feel for the few kids who want to play and I feel for the 10 schools that are about to get hung out to dry.

Crestview might play all of their home games at Ashland High School in 2021. The recent turf project got started late at Crestview. They are hoping it will be done by October 8th so they can host Plymouth in Week 8 and St. Paul in Week 9.

You’d think last night would’ve been the deciding factor if they are having football or not.

On Facebook there is nothing about a decision on football but there will be a youth football camp tomorrow being held by alumni but also says it is not affiliated with New London Schools.

With what they are going through wouldn’t you think the school would be doing everything in their power to ensure there is football in the future starting at the lower levels for one. Instead their only plea to get kids out for football was “there won’t be marching band or cheerleading”. Now three weeks before the season is to start and some graduates have to try and get kids interested but the school administration does nothing. Major problem and red flags if you ask me.

Give him a lot of credit for what he’s trying to do for the kids. At least someone there is trying.

Would New London be in danger of losing students to neighboring schools as in South Central or Norwalk? OHSAA allows public school athletes to participate in sports at neighboring public schools that their school does not offer. Private schools students have it slightly different. Only if they enroll into the neighboring school.

OHSAA allows public school athletes to participate in sports at neighboring public schools that their school does not offer. Private schools students have it slightly different.This is not entirely accurate. A school would have to disband its entire athletic program in order for the student described in your scenario to be eligible. The student would have to open enroll to the neighboring district and even then would have to go through the formality of being approved through the OHSAA. To elaborate, using your scenario...hypothetically, let's say a student resides in the New London or South Central district, but is enrolled at St Paul. He wants to play golf in the fall, but St Paul does not offer golf. He could then either play golf at New London/South Central (because that's his home district) OR Norwalk City because that's the public district in which his private school is located. Said student could play basketball at St Paul in the winter since it has a basketball team and that is where he's enrolled. In the spring, he wanted to run track, but St Paul doesn't have a track team. He could NOT play golf at New London/South Central in the fall, basketball at St Paul in the winter, then run track at Norwalk City in the spring. He would have to do BOTH golf in the fall and track in the spring at New London/South Central or both golf and track at Norwalk City. For what it's worth, you could alternate back and forth from one year to the next...play both golf and run track at South Central your freshman year, then play both golf and run track at Norwalk City the next. And then alternate back and forth until you graduate.

Just posted on New London’s Facebook page it says official practice starts tomorrow for high school football so I’m guessing they found enough kids to fill out a football team.

New London doesn't have football for the benefit of the fans or the coaches or the other schools. They have football for the benefit of New London students.
Maybe someone should ask New London students, in a non-judgemental way, why they don't want to be part of current New London football.
And maybe thy should listen to the answers.

And then alternate back and forth until you graduate. You are inaccurate. A student attending school A, that does not offer a specific sport, may request to participate in tryouts and play for the neighboring school without any transfer. If you can read I said public schools so the reference was that private schools have different guidelines. BUT, if you attend a private school you can be denied access to any team IF your home school offers that sport. So using your scenario if you attend St Paul and want to play golf and live in New London, that would be your first choice and could be denied other school options. If you alternate school teams from one season to the next and live in the same house the entire time you will sit the second half of the season when you transfer.

OHSAA says “no they can’t.” The hypothetical students you’re referring to aren’t covered under any of the seven exceptions to Bylaw 4-3-1. 6. The public school my student attends does not offer a certain sport. Are students who want to play that sport eligible at a different school?For a 'conventional' public school, NO. Bylaw 4-3-1 indicates that a student must be enrolled and attending full-time to have the privilege of athletic participation. Exception 6 of Bylaw 4-3-1 indicates that there is an exception in accordance with state law. The students who have an opportunity to participate on different school teams in accordance with state law are those who reside in a district and are students who attend the following types of schools: non-public schools, community schools and STEM schools. Students who are home schooled and live in a school district also have an opportunity to participate on those school teams. The language in the state law is not written to include students who attend conventional public schools that do not have a participation opportunity. Remember that the opportunity for non-enrolled students is at the residential public school ONLY, with the two exceptions cited – home educated students and non-public school students. www.ohsaa.org/eligibility/CommonlyAskedQuestions

It is possible it was a home school student. I was told the student lived in this public district and played in another a team sport that her home school did not offer. When I was told of the situation the home public school was the reference to where she was coming from.
