They either prefer playing basketball, wouldn't be able to qualify, or just do not live in the right town that has a coach that can talk them into playing.

Or they live in a town where the team has so little support from the school and community it never occurs to them to try out for football. The delta region in particular just doesn't have the money to really develop football players.

There is a ton of talented athletes in that area who never get a chance to show what they can do.
