I can tell you point blank the City of Rock Hill will not approve any rezoning or land use plan for Legion in the city limits. The city needs Rock Hill Schools support with Tax Increment Districts ..... I did hear that Legion has a second site in the county.....I would think the key to attracting a head coach would be facilities.....Your thoughts?.....
I think everything you stated is correct but I also understand that Legion expected there to be obstacles. The company driving this project also started Oceanside and Grays Charter schools so they have experience behind them. I don't think instant facilities will deter a coach as long as he knows what is coming in the near future. Not having good facilities may keep them from poaching current top talent in the area but every high school has players standing on the sidelines that believe they should be starters so you can expect depth to take some sort of hit. If Herron does take that job he will have a very credible sales pitch.
