That's fine with me. I was just giving some examples of situations that could cause some teams to play a Froshmore schedule. By showing ages maybe people would be able to take a loss without excuses. Maybe if SK had won it would not have been an issue who knows. The reality of it all is that how a team chooses to develope their program is there choice. If SK is that powerful then they should have just as many State Titles in football as Highlands, but the Bluebirds do play more powerhouse calibar teams from Ohio each year. So maybe SK should start playing them to since they appear to be running through NKY teams.

Because it was a 5A school up till this year and the enrollment would seem to justify it?

 

Scott was one of the smallest 5A schools and traditionally has not had great football numbers, and there are lots of reasons for that. One, the soccer program is very strong, and draws some kids away from football. Most years, the difference between having a freshman team or not, is only a handful of kids. In addition to soccer, over the last few years the football program has lost some very good athletes for whom football was a secondary sport. Several have given up football for basketball and even a kid or two to wrestling. Second, the effects of the Taylor Mill Eagles feeder program are just beginning to be felt. This year Woodland has one of its bigger 8th grade classes (about 30 kids), and these kids have played together for 4 years as TM Eagles. But Woodland is not a huge school, and there are going to be years where numbers just will not be great, and that usually carries over to the freshman level. Not many kids are picking up football for the first time at the high school level anymore.

AGREED.

Scott doesn't have any holdbacks.

 

Maybe not an intentional holdback but you have at least 1 freshman that is a yr older because he told my son's friend that he was. #22
