MarshallCounty Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 How many you have going out this year. Bremen 35ish. Quote
Impartial_Observer Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Not sure about numbers, we've had two schools cancel lower level games due to numbers. These are Frosh/C team. Quote
MarshallCounty Posted August 8, 2019 Author Posted August 8, 2019 Bremen has been dealing with lowering numbers for years. Give the staff credit, they coach up the kids that want to be out there. 1 Quote

What are your goals for the upcoming season? Edited August 9, 2019 by DT Quote
CoachByers Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks! Yes it’s 9-12... we are looking to improve on the foundation we started last year and be competitive with everyone we play this season... it is a process to turn a program around and we are still pretty young (the bulk of our team is Sophomores and Juniors) but our guys are buying in and working really hard. Our staff is extremely excited for this season and the future of Frankfort football 8 Quote

I will remove Frankfort from my contraction watch list. Quote

It is what it is Contraction is a real issue I've seen several lower level game cancellations already reading thru the various forum threads. This is sure to continue Quote
MarshallCounty Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 Truth is for whatever reason many students are not going out for a variety of sports at a lot of schools. Some of it may be new family dynamics, school culture, etc.. Football is not the only sport, a lot of Baseball programs can not field a jv team anymore. It is really concerning to me. I don't think contraction is the best approach, I would rather give kids more opportunities, but if they aren't willing to participate, what are schools to do? 1 Quote

senatorcoach72 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 45 players 2018-2019 Reclassification #'s 273 Students Size Rank 40th of 64 in Class A 2 Quote
johnny U Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Saw a team picture of South Bend Clay football team on twitter. They have 29 players in the picture and 7 coaches. A great 4.1/1 player to coach ratio. The players should get a lot of individual instruction. Clay should be added to the list for contraction. DT I'm with you 100% on contrtaction. 1 Quote
