They should start by capping the number of players. When you have 100 kids on a football team you know to many there because they pay fees and not because they have any chance to play

Lol, you never played football for a high school powerhouse, did you? I cannot express how huge high school football is in small town Ohio. The season my local high school won the state championship, against all odds, and the following year, we had over 100 boys on the team (no cuts; if you stuck with it through two-a-days in the August heat and conditioning and practices, you were on the team). None were recruited by our coaches, all were zoned for our school. This was a school with only about 900 students enrolled!

The football program turned quite a profit. We didn’t need the measly athletic fees, which didn’t cover all the expenses anyway. To participate in playoff games on artificial turf, we had bought all 100+ players special cleats, whether they were going to see any playing time or not. It meant something to those young men to be part of the program. They weren’t kept on for the fees they paid.

Cool story. At qo players sell fundraising coupons and bring in money. One year kids were told they dont get jerseys if they dont sell the coupons they got. Your coach knew you wasn't going play after watching you for two days. They wasted your time. You think coaches that recruit players in to take away opportunities from kids is keeping kids on out of the goodness in there heart?

You still don’t get it. Kids want the cachet of being on the football team. If a team has 100 players, the kids are making the choice to stick with it, even if they don’t get playing time. They don’t feel like it’s a waste of their time. They want to wear that jersey, even if it never gets dirty. Coaches aren’t keeping kids on the roster to have more coupon book salesmen; they still have to outfit those kids with the full uniforms, transport them to games, have those kids taking up equipment in the weight room, etc.

Not too difficult to think about which kids and parents raise the money and which kids don’t sell coupon books but are starters every game…interesting. Solid program but coaches could do a lot more to instill character and respect into these young men. The WO coaches talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

Interesting to note that Teasley played at Walkersville HS in Frederick Co early in his HS career

I think Josiah reclassed and has to play for a private school. Likely trying to make power plays and be noticed for college offers. Solid player.

St James Academy also has a kid from Northwest HS on their team this fall.
