Re: Why do team's fold?

As I understand it, Slidell High's team from about a decade ago ended because of a lack of funding; once the rookie funding sources dried up, they didn't have enough other to fall back on. They competed twice, seeding second and fourth at Bayou, but were unable to raise enough money to compete a third time. Their head coach still teaches at Slidell High, but is not involved with the current team.

I suspect that many are a lack of key leadership. However, most of those defunct teams probably do not have anyone currently following CD.
