Marathon has not played football for three or four years. They did not have enough to play boy's basketball this past year. The coaching situation has been a revolving door for a number of years. They do not pay much and there is an element in the community that kept anyone from disciplining the young lads for a number of years. They have had a good coach or two but they will not let them do their job. Money is a problem as there is little tax base. Alpine would like to have the money, but does not want the kids and would be pretty hard to ship what they have left to Alpine and would probably basically turn it into a ghost town.
If you are looking for tunes, try station in Alpine, but a better choice would be satellite radio.
Grew up there, turned down the job there twice, would not go back for all the tea in China. But to each his own, do not care much for some other parts of the state either.
