I think it would go a long way for the city and (SCS) Steubenville City Schools. The city still has the marketing ads of the "BURB OF THE BURGS" airing in WV/PA I think the enrollment would help the football program as well as SCS. Most of the families that enroll have 3 to 4 children enrolling in SCS.FairwoodKing wrote: Why couldn't Big Red create a classic weekend? We have great facilities and a wonderful reputation. Surely we could find a sponsor.
We already are seeing players on the roster from Weirton,WV. Burgettstown, PA. Wintersville, OH. Richmond, OH. among others. I think SCS is doing a great job in promoting the school system in the Tri-State areas.
I think we should also start "POSITION" focused Football camps- QB, BIGMAN-lineman etc. I would definitely start a kicking camp like this one which is "FREE TO COACHES" that is going to held at AKRON U.

I would send the head coach of Harding, Frosh Coach and the special teams coach and Reno to the camp. I feel we are hurt in the middle school grades because they don't kick PA's, kick offs or punt in games or practice enough.
We develop every other position from the middle school level up...why not the kicking position. Take the position back to a point of ATTACK.
These are a few areas where the program can and should improve upon.
As always ROLL RED ROLL!
