Running a high school football team isn't just about the Xs and Os, there are so many little things that come along with it, especially at the high school level.
Bridgewater took to Facebook to explain the issues that he's facing, which is considerable.
- Uber rides: $700 per week
- Athletic recovery services $1,300 per week
- Pre-game meals: $2,200 per week
Those expenses over the course of 4-5 months can be a massive one for any high school coach.
