It's been discussed here for sure over the years, but the curiosity got best of me so I went online to count a few high school freshman football rosters and immediately it got very interesting. So I looked at a few more.
Are mama's going to let they babies grow up to be hs football players? Should Edgy get a second job? Used 8 to 18 or the school website. Did my best to count carefully and apologize if any errors but as expected trending in wrong direction. If you think about it only 22 plus special teams is all you need but not a whole lot of depth for sure. Boys lacrosse is a Spring sport but I think it is and will continue to diminish these numbers.
