No area football, boys basketball or girls basketball team played for a state championship. In fact in boys and girls basketball, no teams will make the trip to Columbus.

Is it a sign of the future or just our turn for a down time?

In Sunday's editions of Ohio.com and the Beacon Journal, we will name our boys and girls scholastic all-stars. One of the requirements was lettering in two sports.

My question is in 20 years will anybody be playing more than 1 sport. With college so expensive, if any high school athlete is good enough to sniff a scholarship they owe it to themselves to go for it.

Twenty years ago, 3 sports was the norm.

Do you all see the trend continuing?
