re: Numbers look bleak for Arkansas high school football's reputation

The Little Rock metro has the players but are either poorly coached or not developed like they should. And many of them are not playing as they don't have any interest unless it is basketball.

It has improved recently but still not where they should be.

The problems with Arkansas high school football is not because it is a small state but a state full of communities that just don't care about football.

When a community shrinks in population, it has a negative impact on any sport and football suffers the most. But if the community doesn't care all, the football teams go from good to bad and then just flat out terrible. Yet these teams still have good players and have no clue what to do. They are undisciplined and quit when adversity shows up.

Arkansas does a terrible job maximizing the full potential of what it already has and people need to start caring more or the Razorbacks will just continue to be at the bottom.
