After the school petitioned the Marin County Athletic League last week to drop the sport for at least one varsity season because of low participation, 25 players — all juniors and seniors — arrived for Monday’s first day of practice, according to assistant principal Greg Fister. “We had tremendous support from our parents, and the students stepped up,” Fister said. Part of the problem was we had players on family vacation, and they fell behind on paperwork and weren’t eligible for practice. “Having a good, healthy football program always has a strong positive influence on a school campus,” said Fister, who is in his second year at Novato after having worked at Clayton Valley-Concord.
