It's all about the Benjamins.

True, but how many young athletes actually get to a level that the Bens start flowing like water? Aren't most parent pushing a pipe dream?

But they truly believe that if they throw enough money at it that they will attain that dream.
As they always say : Denial is not just a river that runs through Africa.

Over the past few years Zeeland High School has split into Zeeland East (the original) and Zeeland West(the new school). Both schools have their own teams but the great thing is saved a ton of $$ by renovating the old stadium. I know this is off topic but another great thing about the school district is the support Team 85 (Built On Brains) receives from the school district. From teachers to the superintendent they keep tabs on how the team is doing during build season. It just proves that with enough motivation and passion that a team can really be recognized for what they do.
