Guest Aledoalumni Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 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.

Guest Aledoalumni Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 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...48921248ca7d72WR '18- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/8690008...eaa508885f1899DT '18- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/1010678...b1220d9026e867RB '17- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/8747955...e17e0be477156dDB '16- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5651224...24dd31e8554bd6DE '16- https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5651182...18fc28e453556b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalBacker Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet teams like Carthage or WOS have more participation than some bad 6A schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

aTmfan06 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 We are 4A D2 and went 3 rounds deep in the playoffs, but arguably our best two players were sophomores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalBacker Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Silsbee and Carthage are pretty much guaranteeing that WOS won’t be back to Dallas until they drop 3A D1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
