Ernst reported in his blog today that Ryle expects to roll out 110 players next fall - NOT counting freshman. Looks like the boys are getting excited about Ryle football in Union.

 

Should this hold, this would be the first time I've ever seen an NKY team with 100+ players.

Hopefully they all come out and play, highly unlikely but will be very good for the school if they do.

That's awesome....last December (November 30th) was step 1...this season is the most important step thus far.

First time Ryle is faced with the issue of how to number the jersey. In the past I have seen rosters from other teams with two 99's, two 55's, etc...

 

Would have never thought it would happen at Ryle. Although this may only be temporary since the new school in Boone County is slated to open in two years which will dilute the talent pool once again. Everyone says that with the projected growth of Boone County it will not effect the athletics. I can't see how it won't have an impact.

 

What are others thoughts?

 

How do teams with more than 99 varsity players assign jersey numbers? Do you have a roster with 99 & 99B? How accurate are the stats if you sub 99 with 99B?

That's great to hear.

 

Now they just need to change the title of the thread from Ryle Football Passes the Century Mark to Ryle Football Passes the Football.

You can get a few more #'s by using 'o' in front of 1, 2, 3,etc, example 01,02, 03, 04, 05,06, 07, 08,09

Trinity doesn't have more than 99 varsity players but they do issue a few duplicate numbers. It works out OK as long as one kid is on offense and the other is on defense. This situation caused some confusion on this board last year. Some folks reported one of the Duttons (#2) playing safety for the Rocks. It turned out to be a duplicate number.

The only rule is that two players with the same number cannot be on the field at the same time.

How many kids attend Ryle?

They will have more kids in uniform than attending the games.

There are approximately 1600 maybe a little more students

Ryle has 1600? that seems high to me but what do I know.

Checked for ya and Ryle according to the 05-06 reports had 1,570. I'd say that's probably increased as well RR34 is on his numbers. And in case you're curious Neer SK had about 150 less students.

 

And if you want to know what really grinds my gears it's that SK & Ryle both play with Trinity and St. X, whoms also happen have about 1400 students, however none of their students wear dresses or short skirts to school.

Not that it matters much but the split between boys and girls at Ryle is about 55% girls (880) and 45% boys (720). So to have 100+ varsity football players works out to be about 1 in 7 boys will suit up.

...well none that they mention anyways.
