The Rappahannock County School Sports Association (RCSSA) believes that they can do the same. They have asked representatives from the company that provided the solution for that rural Iowa school system to come to Rappahannock and speak to the community about it.
They are hosting a meeting this Monday, Feb. 25, starting at 6 p.m. in the auditorium at the high school. Who is going to be there? Certainly students and their parents who are most affected by not being able to remain in Rappahannock for evening games. Who else might be there? Hopefully some school board members, school administrators, teachers and coaches and county officials interested to see what might be possible and what kind of dollars it will take.
Thinking ahead and looking to the future, parents of younger students should be interested as well. Today’s Junior Panthers will be tomorrow’s junior and varsity players not to mention the rising stars of the Rappahannock County Band. Speaking of which, reportedly there have been times when parents have lined up their cars and turned on their headlights so that the band would have enough light to see to march and practice. That’s pretty pathetic for a band that consistently brings home superior and excellent ratings.
Get involved. Stop by and air your concerns about light pollution, life-cycle costs or other issues that you may have. If you’re one of those anti-football folks, you can come as well.
There is no reason that without some creative collaboration, Rappahannock’s children can play under the lights.
Come to the school on Monday evening and let’s figure out a way or at least start a meaningful and positive discussion on how\o make this work.
The dark ages are a thing of the past.
