Alabama’s Hoover High boasts one of the nation’s most well-known high school football brands. Now we know it has the finances to match, albeit not via the most traditional sources.
The Bucs, who opened the 2016 campaign with a 23-7 victory against Central-Phenix City, will travel from Alabama to the Dallas suburbs to take on traditional Texas power Allen in 20,000-seat Eagle Stadium. The opening kickoff of the game is scheduled for 7:30, and, as reported by AL.com, the sheer number of Hoover representatives involved in the trip led school officials to charter a plane for the group to travel to the game.
As it turns out, that traveling party won’t even include the Hoover junior varsity football coaches, the school’s medical staff, the band or cheerleaders, who will all travel via RV or bus for 9-10 hours to arrive at the game. Many of those transportation methods are being subsidized by corporate partners, not to mention a substantial amount of funding passed down via Athletic Departments.
