How many freshman or sophomores does your program play on varsity? Is it common or does it vary year to year? How did they do? Were they starting or were they sitting the bench? If you have any highlight videos post them! Also name the program you are posting about.

Aledo will mix in a couple sophomores on varsity each year it seems like. Freshman are rare although they have been known to play small roles from time to time. I think Aledo likes to pull some young kids up to the teach them the varsity way. That way they can be the leaders when they are seniors. Aledo does a good job of getting the younger kids playing time to gain experience for the next season. During the playoffs the special teams get remade to have the top kids from JV get some action.

Here are some highlights of Aledo sophomores starting on varsity.

FS '19- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/6605887...48921248ca7d72

WR '18- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/8690008...eaa508885f1899

DT '18- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/1010678...b1220d9026e867

RB '17- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/8747955...e17e0be477156d

Y’all have an amazing program. 

We have been very fortunate. Lots of things going our way for us to be in a position to succeed.

We’re a smaller 4A school with limited participation and we have had couple of freshmen and more than a few sophomores called up for varsity duty with some decent levels of instant success. It typically comes later in the season when varsity needs arise or the young ones just really outdo themselves early in the season on the sub-varsity squads. 
 

Honestly, though, it kinda seems like we’ve been kinda snake-bit lately because the two kids that I distinctly remember starting as freshmen and having success ended up with mediocre careers. Kinda makes me wonder if the early success kinda killed their drive to improve. Dunno.

Participation is huge for all the schools. I'd bet teams like Carthage or WOS have more participation than some bad 6A schools.

Carthage suits up prob 50 plus kids. WOS 30 to 35 kids. Not everyone will make it through Coach Thompson to be on a team. LCM started 1 freshman last year and a few sophomores. This up coming there will be a lot underclassman on varsity.

I was thinking about the entire program not just varsity. My bad for not clarifying.

We are 4A D2 and went 3 rounds deep in the playoffs, but arguably our best two players were sophomores.

Whats going to be a bummer for region 3 and all of D2 is the fact Carthage dropped. That is a big dog in a new yard.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
