I didn't neither but what I've been seeing Covington has been out since they played PC. That's a huge lost considering he's one of the top RBs in the state/the run the offense thru him.

Glencliff I'm sorry but after teams 1-4 and then team 5 when they are healthy that list consists of a lot of very bad football teams. Metro Football is not very good this year beyond the Top 4.

RecordBook Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 It’s the worst in terms of actually competitive teams at or near the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that strikes me is the fact that most of the teams cannot field a freshman team. A 9th grade team is a good barometer of the health of a program. If you don't have enough players to fill out a team, you will see problems down the line. There will be a lot of attrition, in both the long run and the short term. Small freshman who might have played on a 9th grade team will avoid JV football involving much bigger players. Once they miss a year, they're unlikely to come back. Even with a freshman team, you have attrition: injuries, kids losing interest or developing others. The bttom line is that of you can't interest at least 25 of your freshman to enter your program, you're likely to have issues in both numbers and leadership in three years.

PC has won 4 out of the last 5 freshman championships winning the Last 3 in a row. Runner up in 2014. Have beat BA, MBA, Beech and hendersonville just to name a few in the process. Scrimmaged Oakland and Blackmen the past 2 years. It's no surprise that the varsity team is playing at such a high level this season to those that follow the program closely.

jcraigp23 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) While we were fortunate to field freshmen, JV and Varsity teams. It may be a good option for Metro to just go back to JV teams only 9th/10th graders. They did this a few years ago and I believe, had some success growing programs. Mainly because the 10th graders that didn't play on fridays were able to still get playing time which in turn kept them interested in football.

MichaelMyers76 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 The problem with the 9/10th grade was that some "coaches" would sneak in juniors and an occasional senior just to try to win a 9/10 game. And yes that really did happen more than once. 8 teams had freshman teams. Cane RIdge Hillsboro Overton McGavock Pearl Cohn East Stratford and Maplewood If you look above they are also the top ranked Metro programs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fballfan1978 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 coaching definitely has something to do with these records as well, i have seen a lot of coaches refuse to change there play calling/style to fit the players that they have. Doing the same thing every week when you lose only causes more losing and lose of morale. Who wants to be a loser every week? i don't blame kids seeking better coaching and better teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some coaches go with the latest fad...I.e. the 3-4 defense. I saw a JV game last night that had 4 big bodies on the sideline while the “lil fellas” were playing. Opposing team ran up the middle the whole game scoring 40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
