Coach Sly: Kaneland's quandary

Hey, Sly knows times are rough, and Kaneland's school district has bigger problems than sports on its hands these days.

But thinkin' like the sports-lover he is, Sly gulped pretty hard when he read that middle school sports might very well be on the chopping block at Kaneland because of the financial problems.

Not only would this be a bummer for the middle schoolers themselves, but missing out on that experience won't do them any favors when it comes time for high school sports, either.

Sly would love to hear from Kaneland-backers on this one: how likely do you think it is that middle school sports go bye-bye, and if that happens, how big a blow would it be to the Knights at the high school level, down the road?
