Great info!! Maybe I shouldn't have painted with such a broad brush, but it is interesting to see that 3 of the 6 teams are in Region 2.

Very true and my point also being I think some of these small schools that have 160 and less enrollment would benefit from possibly consolidating especially when they're within 15 Mi of each other. Leave the existing schools for elementary and middle schools and then consolidate some of the high schools for better education and obviously better athletics.

Any word if the turnout was any better for practice today at GB or if the 3 that turned their stuff in may of came back??

True but you could combine Coalfield and Oakdale and you still would only have 302 enrolled. If you did that you would have a pretty competitive team in 1A. I use those 2 as an example as they are only about 15 miles apart as a crow flies lol. If you added the 5-6 good players that Oakdales has to this year's Coalfiled team then they would be a legit title contender. Thats not going to happen but its interesting to think about.

Not huge but twice the enrollment of not only Coalfield but most the teams in the east. They're sitting at about 300 enrolled versus most of the schools in the East are 160 and below. Wartburg which is also in the east is sitting at about 383 enrolled and they're 2A.

I believe Harriman although very little, is showing improvement and Greenback on the other hand is trending in the other direction. I hate to hear it about kids quitting but who among us adults wouldn't think about doing the same if we are in that situation with a job and getting a boss who he didn't respect or didn't believe?

Personally I think a lot of their success comes from their feeder program. I think they do benefit from picking up a kid or two here and there from local schools but that still doesn't get you anywhere close to a 3A quality team.

Last I checked Coafield is less than 160 enrollment. I don't see how that gets you to 3A.

Another shutout by a stout CF defense.
