There are numbers in Comstock, I think the HS has 60-80 kids last I checked. Marathon will need a whole lot of new families to make football work there again.
Seems I remember reading an article about a serious injury to a Comstock football player in a game back in the 60s or 70s which led them to dropping the sport; I used to do a lot of work in Del Rio and one of the doctors mentioned was a gentleman I used to call on in the 80s.

That article might still be on the History thread.....September 9, 1971. A 130 lb halfback Howard Chamberlain was seriously injured during a scrimmage. Drs. George Hermann and Louis Cartall removed his spleen and 5 inches from the back of his stomach to stop serious internal bleeding that almost killed him.
Comstock was playing an outlaw schedule in 1971 and had several 8 man games with local 11 man JV squads scheduled. They ended up paying only one game that year and dropped football in 1972.

I think a big problem in the past is what district would they be in. Comstock got a taste of the trans-Pecos life in basketball this year and last year, and basically dots on the map in west Texas are farther away than they appear. While they could probably do it now with Leakey, Nucese, and Medina playing sixman, my understanding is the community does not want football. Of course, that could always change.

It is so confusing if you have never been there, but the Rio Grande bends making south and west basically "Mexico" and "not Mexico" depending on your specific location.

Let's say per Mr. Google Maps:
32 miles NW of Del Rio via US 90
81 miles S of Ozuna via TX 163
88 miles E of Sanderson on US 90'
Roughly 12 miles N of the US/Mexico border, or as Mr. Trump calls it, the big, beautiful wall (could be a wet one, too).
