What do numbers look like

To answer the thread question...1234567890
Biggest question I have as far as storylines this season......can the numbers rebound a little bit post COVID delated season....because the overall numbers basically were bad in the spring all over.
If 1 quarter is 1/4 of a whole, how can we have 5 or 6 quarters? I know, I’m being a smart a**. Just having fun with the numbers theme.
For me it has been awhile since I have done a 5th quarter freshman game, but I think the answer is yes. But sometimes the 5th quarter this is sprung in us last minute.
Yes we get a little extra. I have never done a "6th quarter" so I don't know what to expect. 5th quarters vary from 10 plays on offense/10 plays on defense to running clock of 10/12/15 minutes to a regular clock 10 minutes play-by-all-the-rules. And they are without a doubt the biggest source of problems on a Saturday morning when the two freshman coaches can't agree on what format to use...
Hearing MC has 65 Varisty players, but only 17 seniors. 5 Sophs and 42 juniors....This senior class has always been small, it was Coach Franks last recruiting class, which he wasn't very aggressive with and was replaced soon after the exam...Anyway this senior class didn't really have a lot of players transfer, they just had a ton drop off to concentrate on other sports or just stop playing all together....the remaining seniors have a lot of talent, but you'll be seeing a lot of Jr and some Soph on the field....2022 looks bright....2021 wait and see....
Well the good sign down the road is that I saw Hinsdale South is looking for more coaches due to higher turnout at the freshman level. Hoping this trend can spread to the rest of the Chicagoland
Math has never been the strong suit over on Dante....
Come on, off by one! It’s been a long week! Take MC’s 13 State Championships in football and add how many BR has and the answer is 14. You see I can add!
.That was beautiful! You dog.Come on, off by one! It’s been a long week! Take MC’s 13 State Championships in football and add how many BR has and the answer is 14. You see I can add!
Then subtract how many weren't in the highest class since those don't count and get 3.
My understanding is they won't have a frosh team, but can't 100% confirm that being the reason. Would make sense though being that they are cancelling a week 5 game
That's true. They won only twice in the highest class. But look at their illustrious record in the highest and the second-highest class.

They don't all have to be in the highest class. Historically, we play a schedule of teams in the highest and next-highest classes. What's your beef? We don't play those Saturday morning "championships".
West Carroll, a NUIC school of 305 that qualified for the playoffs in 2019, did not have any juniors and seniors that wanted to play, thus forcing cancellation of varsity season.
No need to defend the record. There‘s no shame in not winning the top classification. 1A through 7A all have much to be proud of.
They are an Illinois high school, genius.
Okay
Crusader why such a smart ***? I know we’re getting close to the season starting and your all wound up but really already starting with the insults. Grow up dude.
No, of course not. This dispute about the validity of trophies in the lower classes makes no sense to me. But the posts I responded to were about some of the arcane aspects of IHSA champioships. Some of the posters here know more about the history of my school than I do.

I would assume he took your original response as being a smart ***.
Fair enough. I never heard of West Carrol. I looked them up. I think they have 28 players on Varsity so that explains why they didn’t win a game in the spring. No Jr or seniors on the team explains their record.
So you popped off to a new fella like some big shot and were completely uninformed and incorrect. And when this is pointed out, I’m the smart ***?
