I think when you talk about a "program" on the rise you have to look at all the intricate parts that go into building a program up. You have this core of a coaching staff and players but then you have to look at the youth programs in the area, community support, and the facilities. According to what I just said, you have to look at Shelby Valley and Bath county. Both have just received some sorely needed new facilities and football fields and what have they done? Each team has had a winning season since their inaugural season on their respective new football fields. Shelby Valley won their first playoff game ever last year.

Program building has the same basic fundamentals as the game of football itself. In football; offense, defense, and special teams have the same equal importance. In keeping a successful football program; good coaching staff, good youth programs, and updated facilities are equal important. See: Russell Red Devils
