Eastside Memorial football coming up fast
the Austin American-Statesman
Far from the bright lights of Lake Travis or Bastrop is a high school football success story that very few have
witnessed.
It comes from Eastside Memorial High, the school formerly known as Johnston. Once labeled the "pride of Austin's East Side," Johnston is better known for shutting its doors in spring 2008 after five straight years of
academic failure.
The NCAA would call this the death penalty. Johnston football showed few signs of life when the coaching staff cut its final season short, fearing a depleted team would be subject to possible injury against bigger, more competitive schools.
Because
of injuries, apathy and academically ineligible players, the roster was trimmed to just 16 active players in 2007 before the season halted.
The resurrection of football was on display last week, when Eastside, competing with a
junior varsity schedule, played its final game of the season, a homecoming match against Crockett.
