Freshmen Numbers?
- Thread starter BeardedJoeLedley
- Start date
35 at Montini, roughly. That was a starting point so if it's dropped due to people falling off it could be lower. Not sure.
At first, I thought this was a Jeffrey Epstein thread.

Not sure there is a single suburban public school who doesn't charge. Some do it by sport and some have one fee across all sports.
How many partial ones?
43 of the 89 boys in the JCA freshmen class are playing football this year.
I would be curious to know how many 8th graders on last year's Glenview Jr. Titans team wound up enrolling at Loyola and going out for freshmen football.
I realize that the club website may not be up to date or well maintained, but the currently published roster for the 7th and 8th grade team lists 25 players. I suspect this was for last year's team. If this is accurate, then I'm also curious how you can have a "very strong 7th-8th grade program" with 25 players.
USD....I'm sure you are up on this, but per the latest schedule on the school website, the Frosh picked up a game in Week 2 against Thornwood. CoM is not listed, but Ignatius is still listed as having a Frosh team.

not sure about website accuracy, but I was at a game last year and their roster was materially more than 25.
In terms of total class size, typically Glenview 8th grade classes are 90-100 greater than the freshman class at GBS. Not all go to Loyola as they lose students to NND, LFA and Regina as well, but I would say Loyola probably gets the biggest share of the total student body.
From what I just heard CoM and Iggy are gonna field frosh teams now.
I also heard Provi is not gonna have a frosh team
Kinda a fluid situation with some schools at this point
Biggest share from among the private schools you mentioned. Surely you don't mean that Loyola gets the majority of 8th graders from Springman and Attea.
exactly. Of the 100 or so Glenview loses, i'd guess that loyola gets 40-50 of them. majority of attea/springman kids are going to GBS. between the jr highs, i'd imagine springman loses more than attea due to demographics.
Why not? If you don’t have enough kids, what are u going to do?
How many remember when North Shore Country Day required all students to play at least 1 sport? They had a great turnout for football same with Mooseheart
I do. I went to Lake Forest Academy and we had the same rule. I think it was throughput the entire Independent School League
My cousin’s son is going to be a freshman at Provi ... not a single coach contacted him, but mainly, it’s because he’s tiny and prefers theater.
Lake Forest Academy was like that too. Maybe they still are. I think underclassmen had to participate in at least two sport seasons a year.

It was one sport but most did 2 or 3
It was one but most did 2. Unfortunately they have fallen off so badly that we only have a 8-man team. Messed up considering we had a team of 50 guys but the school only had 250 kids
Could you ever see the day when Friday Night Lights is a high school soccer game?
Me either.
I just got a note from them saying they have 35
It was 3 sports when I was there for both freshman and sophomores. 2 for juniors. 1 for seniors. Not sure if that has changed.
They went to 8-man a few years back. There were only 25 guys in the school playing football.
Isn't the reason they moved freshmen games to Friday to create a gap for JV? I know most schools are going freshman-varsity on Friday, JV on Monday so people who played a handful of plays in varsity game can get more time on JV. Is this not the case?
I was like no way Conant has 6 players on freshman and palatine has 70.With the schools being from same general area.
Even though they are in same school district, they draw from different towns. Palatine is obvious. Conant draws from Elk Grove, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Roselle and Hanover Park
