Cameron pleas for high School football program: Head football coach Cam Cameron spoke to members of the Eastern Greene Board of School Trustees and more than 150 district residents on Tuesday, February 8, to plea for adding football to the high school athletic program. The board meeting produced an unexpected overflow crowd that was so large the meeting had to be moved two times to larger rooms to accommodate the overflow crowd. Eastern began its organized youth football program in 1997 and Indiana football has been involved in the youth program since its inception. Said Cameron, "We've supported these guys for a long time. I've seen the energy and effort that everyone of those people have put in. I can't say enough good about them. "He added, "There is a kid in this room that has a dream today of playing football at Indiana University...and the only what that dream will happen if for you to allow them to play junior high football and high school football. I'll bet money, that someday, somebody in this room will have the opportunity to come play for me at Indiana University."
