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.

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.

From the article: The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously last week to become a "sanctuary city," categorically withholding any municipal assistance to federal immigration authorities despite a bevy of illegal immigrants arrested there for violent crimes and even violence against children this year.  The 13-0 vote last Tuesday comes weeks after President-elect Donald Trump's ballot-box victory and in the same year that dozens of illegal immigrants were picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers in the L.A. metro area for murder, homicide and assault against children.  So far this year, Los Angeles ERO has arrested 1,263 illegal immigrants in the metro area so far this year, and 715 of them had criminal convictions, according to ICE data. The agency gathered 19,726 noncitizens between 2021 and 2024, and 7,255 of them, about 36%, had prior criminal convictions. That includes 26 illegal immigrants with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide and assault against children who were arrested in the Los Angeles area during a nationwide operation from Jan. 16-28, ICE said.
    • Final Wells                 76 Corrigan           37
    • Take a look at this chart.  It shows how many kids per year transfer outside of the District WHILE LIVING IN GCCISD DISTRICT.  They reside within GCCISD, but attend school outside of it.  These numbers are straight from TEA. “TEA maintains data on students living in Goose Creek CISD who attend other public schools”, So we’re not even talking about kids whose families move or who use MeeMaw’s address.  That’s 100+ per year who still live in GCCISD and hitch a ride out to BHISD and back each day.  A lot of cars in that car rider line out of Baytown.  You think at least 10% of them aren’t athletes?  Maybe more like 20%?  C’mon, man, it’s plain to see and like I’ve been telling other folks ALL the successful programs do it.  It’s just gonna get a LITTLE harder to do it after 8/1/25, that’s all.  Won’t stop it, might not even slow it down much, but it’s gonna affect things a bit.
    • I forgot basketball is Division 1 and 2 now. So BH may have a chance 
    • BHISD isn’t all Riceland, there’s plenty of cheaper houses, trailer parks, RV Parks, etc and I hear there’s Apartment Complexes going in soon.  Also, you don’t even have to move there as long as you’ve got a MeeMaw or Auntie in BHISD zone, you just sign an affidavit that your kid is living with MeeMaw or Auntie and they’re in.  Don’t take my word for it, I already posted GCCISDs numbers showing twice as many GCCISD kids are transferring to BHISD than to the other surrounding Districts, 100+ per year.  If only 10% of those are for athletic purposes that’s 10 athletes a year minimum and I’m willing to bet it’s a little higher.   What’s also true and the point I was trying to make there is that as Riceland fills up it’s definitely going to change BHISD.  Those homes start at $500k and run up past $1M.  Gonna be a lot less “Country” and a lot more White Collar.
