Avella football saga

Last year, Avella football made headlines for gutting out the 2008 schedule with a bare-bones roster. At times the Eagles played games with 11 players and it drew a wide variety of reactions from the sports community.

Frank Gray, who coached last year, is attempting to add an additional assistant coach for the 2009 season. Things aren't going so well.

The Avella football saga is not a reflection on the program, just a sign of the times. There are just too many small school districts in Pennsylvania. Avella SD needs to be spilt between Burgettstown and McGuffey School Districts.

If Coach Grey can get 45 people at a meeting they can raise the 2100 bucks. You aren't a victim coach. Go out and get it done.
