Elwood football program attracts new players after outreach effort

Elwood High School's football program saw a rise in participants after athletic director Ryan Vanskyock's call for more players. Initially starting with only 12 players, the team now has 21 following social media outreach that received over 250 shares. Vanskyock expressed gratitude and a need for more players to ensure a full roster. The program is considering options, including moving to eight-man football if numbers do not improve further. Vanskyock plans to hold a public forum to discuss the future of the football program in the community.
