I'm linking to the blog of another coach and athletic director, as I appreciate his comments about multi-sport athletes: http://highschoolsportsstuff.areavoices.com/2015/01/20/one-sport-athletes
I'm 100% in favor of participating in two, or even three, sports in high school. I'm even in favor of multi-sport athletes at the division 3 level. A quick look at our roster shows quite a few multi-sport athletes:
Zach McGriff: sophomore wide receiver - golf
Jacob Bernholtz: sophomore running back - baseball
Ed Hardman: junior defensive back - track and field
Aamir Walton: senior wide receiver - basketball
Graham Fisher: junior punter/kicker - baseball
Kent Hoover: sophomore defensive back - track and field
Jacob Beecher: junior defensive back - baseball
Jonathan Braun: sophomore defensive back - track and field
Joe Galaske: sophomore defensive back - track and field
Ibuki Ogasawara: sophomore defensive back - track and field
