How many Players?

[TradinUp BH]

I'm curious to know how many players does your high school varsity suit out? I know it  depends sometimes on what classification, but like WOS suits out like 25, but I'm not sure. Also, how many kids are in your football program from freshman to seniors? Just trying to come up with new topic. ;D

I know since Silsbee dropped down to 3A four years ago, they have had 41,38,38,33 suit out for varsity. Don't know the total numbers from freshman to senior.

WB suits 42 on varsity. 250 total in the program. 5 teams this year, 2 freshmen, 1 soph, 1 JV, 1 varsity.

Surely with that many players in the program, the numbers on varsity should increase? We need to develop some depth and suit up somewhere between 55-60, IMO. Heck, some of the teams we will be seeing next season will have 85-90 players on the sidelines. Just something else to ponder. ;D

Stump believe that players that never get on the field never get better. So he leave those guys on the JV where they can get the reps

WB has been like that forever. You never heard of very many Juniors much less sophmores or freshman on the varsity roster. Most of the time the varsity consisted of all senior and maybe the most 4 or 5 juniors.  It may have changed a little now. WB usually suits out 2 Fresh, 1 Soph, 1 JV, 1 Varsity always alot of players to pick from.

That's true an I agree with doing that. But how many does he typically bring up for the playoffs?

[BearWolf]

Stump bring up the guys that will get significant playing time the next season. There's no set number. It could be 5 or 25.

WO-S varsity is usually 25-33 kids. JV usually around 25 and freshman around 30.
