You realize they played that game without top 2 corners? Game was much closer than score. Fort dominated LOS. I wish we could have played that game with Miller and Snodgrass. West Jeff lost top 3 WRs. I do think they had a wr out as well. West Jeff Qb is a stud.
And here is Fort Frye's challenge. They do a great job with the kids they have. But they have 130 boys in the school, and I don't know if a third of them are on the football team. Starting in week 3, you're going to start hearing the injury list every week, and the roster gets thin pretty quickly. More boys going through 4 years of the varsity football program would be a big step up for The Cadets.
The 130 enrollment number is only counting 3 grades so they have approximately 170 boys in the high school

Right. So when fewer than 25% of your available boys are making it through the program, that's an area where you could grow. How many does West Jefferson have on the team?

I believe they had around 55 sign up. By game one they will probably sit between 45-50.

It would end badly. Fort had a down year last year still beat Caldwell 35-6. A team that beat Reedsville.

Fort Frye schedule is one of the best in D6. Reedsville might be one of the worst.

Curious as to if you know anything about the Tomcats and Cadets playing in the future? That's a game that should be played every year, no matter what imo.

Covid screwed us a lot of things. I think that screwed a long term series, honestly.

Seems like I remember you Thimble people posting that Fort Frye was coming back on the schedule in 2024? Were you just making that up to look better or what?

Yeah sure they would. I wonder why they dropped us? Hopefully we’ll get that matchup. There’s a poster on here that brags FF up and then makes excuses for when they lose. It would be great to quiet him down a tad. :mrgreen:

When they dropped you it was because fans parked behind the Fort players and yelled racial slurs at a player.

Won’t be no home playoffs vs (2-9) Berne Union in region 23. Heck have hard time seeing Eastern get a home playoff game unless they go 10-0.

First time I’ve ever heard that story. Sounds made up. Us whoopin them three years in a row seems more likely the reason. :mrgreen:

Not made up I was there and I was the aide for the athletic director when it happened.

Doug Pfeffer was the AD. The player in question was Derek Simpkins. The fans were yelling racial slurs. Doug decided to cancel the series over it. Why would Fort run from Eastern ? At the time Fort was terrible and Eastern was one of the teams they could stay competitive with. They went 0-10 that season and still only lost 21-14 with a freshman Qb. Actually had the lead before a long lightning delay.

I was wondering where Eastern's fans were when their baseball team was winning the District this year. I guess that wasn't interesting to them.
