Numbers do matter for enrollment and classification purposes only. Just because a school has 2000 students and one has 1000 doesn't mean the one with most students will b better. East would 9 times out of ten beat most schools with similar enrollment as Whitehaven (Cordova, Southwind, Germantown, Arlington, Collierville, etc). It's takes more than numbers to have a good football team and more importantly a good program. Numbers don't give us any more of an advantage than it gives the other schools I just named. I'd say COMMUNITY SUPPORT, tradition of winning, and good coaching will negate all the differences that numbers will present. To say that Whitehaven is good ONLY because we have a lot of students is just plain silly.
