CCL Frosh Soph Scores

Fenwick canceled? WTH? They're never short numbers
Not sure why. They’re way smaller than usual this year 30-35 by my count but Battaglia does a lot of call ups. Interestingly the Freshman game against Carmel Catholic is also not on the calendar, just Varsity/Sophomore but that might be because Carmel Catholic has a combined Fresh-Soph team.

Carmel Catholic has V and JV teams, only.

The JV team is almost all Frosh. They have (3) Frosh who play on V, and several Soph too.

Carmel Catholic’s JV lost to Loyola Academy
25-22 Friday.

With the declining underclass numbers, do you think that the IHSA will eliminate a division and reorganize???
 
If you are "Almost All Freshmen" on the F/S team for 3,4 years in a row, you have a retention problem somewhere in your program.
You absolutely love, love, love this thread weekly and yearly.

If JV is almost all Frosh then how can only “several Sophs” play on varsity? It sounds like every sophomore is on varsity.

How does that work for the sophs if they aren’t playing in the JV games? Sophomore football is just kind of a redshirt year where you learn a new scout team every week? If you’re a junior who will never see the field on the varsity level are you suiting up for the JV game with freshmen classmates?

The JV Saturday games are more often than not a head scratcher to me. You’ll have one school who can field a team of all sophs (15 year olds, some who haven’t hit puberty) getting walloped by a JV team that has a few massive players with varsity decals on their helmets who are 17 years old. That 1-2 year age gap can be a huge difference at that age. Especially on the OL/DL

*not directed at Carmel, just at the frosh/soph combo + JV team dilemma in general that we see more and more of lately. It’s a mess sometimes*
