Re: The Rise and Fall of FIST Teams through time.

ok, I know of one FIRST team tree.

Kodak sponsored Fairport HS in Rochester NY in 1997 and 98. In 99 they decided to sponsor Marshall HS in Rochester.

So a team of parents and teachers at Fairport scrambled to find a new sponsor that year, and formed a new team with Gleason Works.

A few years later they could not get a teacher/facualty adviser, so they formed a combined team with the Churchville Chili HS waaaaay on the other side of the city.

The following year Gleason/Fairport was one team again (with a Fairport HS teacher). Im not sure if it was the same year but Churchville/Chili HS formed its own team, and is now a powerhouse with Bauch & Lomb for a sponsor.

So from the original Kodak/Fairport team in 97 we ended up with 3 teams in the Rochester area: Kodak/Marshall, Gleason/Fairport, and B&L/ Churchville Chili.

regarding dissapearing - the Fairport team technically did cease to exist when Kodak moved to Marshall. It was a major effort to find a new sponsor the same year, so we didnt miss a season. Im sure there have been other teams who went through the same situation and did miss a year.
