Just curious, I honestly don’t know but if the football team made it to the State playoffs would the school ensure they got to go and the trip was paid for? The same or actually more emphasis should be placed on ensuring academic achievements as this are funded and their travels are paid for by the school. The need for a go fund me account is a slap in the face to what is a much bigger achievement than throwing a football or baseball. I love to watch a good football game but academics should be the main priority of a high school.
Congratulations, Team Tate!!! I’ll be glad to help an academic team compete. Good luck!!!
