Oh heck. I was going to recommend Missouri. It sounds just like. Springfield to me.

Does it have to be under 2000 people? How would it have "all" of the sports at a school of that size? In my area of NY, I would say villages like Skaneateles, Tully, Jordan, Elbridge, Weedsport, Camillus, Central Square, Marcellus and Liverpool. Liverpool and Skaneateles are not too much over 2000 people.

Also, at many of these school districts, they have sports like Lacrosse, Hockey, Indoor Track and Field Hockey for girls. For instance, Camillus is in the West Genesee SD, which is a national powerhouse in Boys Lacrosse. I think Central Square even has a rifle team. Skaneateles has it's own Arena for Hockey(Allyn Arena).

You can't afford them. The people in the core cities have already gone out and found them and run up the real estate prices.

You need to forget about the cities, leave them behind, and learn to live in South Dakota on what you can make working at the Walmart store. There's a whole well-kept-secret out there in the northern plains.

I still want to know what is so bad about Missouri. Where are you living that is so terrible? Do you mean sports for watching or sports for participating in (school)?
