seen on joeeitel half their games are canceled why is this? not enough players or what
I was reading where they only have 16 players and 2 of them are kickers. Don’t know if that’s the reason but it couldn’t help.
They’re 3-0 right now but cancelled season ending games as they would be playing bigger schools at that time and didn’t want kids getting hurt probably with only 16 kids. They replaced the AD and head coach in July per Cincinnati Enquirer and it stated they wanted to get the numbers back to a workable level before proceeding in a new direction for athletics at the school.
Glad not all teams do this, really puts a bind on the other teams you had scheduled as they’re counting on that game. So they’ll keep 3 other games against teams they believe they can beat essentially. Sorry but just not buying what they done at all, last year I believe it was Notre Dame starting mostly freshman and sophomores and had this many kids, Green same thing in terms of numbers, Manchester low numbers and still playing, hearing East is low and still playing their schedule. Said 3 years ago they just had 23 but went 10-0, so they’re just picking and choosing, also said they knew numbers were going to be low and didn’t plan accordingly. By bigger schools I’m guessing they just mean better compared to where they are because they still kept a DV on there and already played a team week 1 that had triple the amount of kids they had and they still won 25-6. I hope they canceled games really early to at least try and give teams a chance to fill in but looking at the other teams schedules only 1 team has a replacement. Oh well, should’ve just cancelled early and went with a JV schedule if that was the case.
True, especially with a parochial school. I know Hannan who Green played last week has about 13 players now. It’s always been low numbers there and they don’t win much but they still suit up and play on Friday nights.
I hate to hear that man.
You don’t see Hannan doing this with 12 kids. Just downgrade the schedule
