I know the FC has a lot of stability with the 8 schools they have which makes it much easier when filling out schedules. I was just looking at enrollment numbers for some of the smallest schools in the FC and was a little surprised with Monroeville. Their current 10th grade is 29 total students. Their biggest classes through their district is 7th-9th grade with 47,50 and 52 total students. After that no class is above 45 total students. I know Monroeville has always been a small school district but I didn’t know it had gotten that small. That makes it even more crazy that New London couldn’t field a team but Monroeville somehow managed to have enough kids for a team.

Wow. Had no idea Mville was getting that small. Hopefully they are able to keep fielding teams consistently.

Saw on the Reflector that SP has wrapped up their preseason and is onto conditioning and then two a days. Anyone know how their last passing scrimmage went?

St. Paul wraps up summer with passing scrimmage:

Word has it NL wasn't able compete in any passing scrimmages. If true, that's scary.

I wonder at what point would the FC say enough is enough with New London or if they’d go forward with a 7 school football league. Next year New London will have maybe a couple kids who took Varsity snaps as sophomores so basically zero experience of playing Varsity which means they will basically be starting over as a program. That’s a tough house to build right there.

If New London were to go a 3rd year without football, does anyone think the FC takes action at that point of moving on without New London or just keep scheduling replacement games in their place?

Sp looked pretty decent in their passing scrimmage. Still have some things in the back end of their secondary that need shored up, but sure Coach Livengood and his staff will do just that. Offensively still a three headed monster at qb, I thought the sophomore looked better than the 2 juniors, seems to get the ball out quicker than the other too and is very decisive in his decisions. Just my opinion, and I by no means know more than Coach Livengood. Just from what I saw.

I don't see the FC ditching New London because no football team. There's SBC schools with no football.

The SBC also knew from day one certain schools didn’t have football and therefore planned for that. The FC is an 8 school league and planned on filling out a schedule with all 8 of them having football. Now the biggest problem when filling in those weeks for New London is most likely longer bus rides which is a lot more gas money and smaller number of fans showing cause it’s a two hour trip one way which means lost revenue.

That would be a nice upgrade for the FC. I know Lucas to Collins and Norwalk would be hour bus trips one way but I think Lucas would be very competitive in all sports.

NL on the outs and Monroeville circling the drain may lead to a mutually beneficial football scheduling relationship with the SBC Bay and River. It'd be little more of stretch geographically for Crestview and Mapleton... but even so having them in the mix sure beats traveling all over the state to fill out slates.

[1belowthepressbox]

Lucas? I feel like Lucas would take over the FC in football. They've been playing at a different level for awhile now. May be wrong. Also seems like they up their strength of schedule to prep for the playoffs. Not sure the FC would meet those standards they've set for themselves. Willard seems to be brought up often.

If the FC had an opening in the future, Edison is smaller then Willard and they used to be in the FC back in the day so maybe they could reunite.

seneca east would make a great fit in the FC

I forgot about them. Yes they would be a great fit for the FC. SE to the FC and Willard to the N10. Problem solved.

Is Monroeville discussing not having football?

Looking at the lowest current enrollment numbers for the FC without counting the CB numbers.

Plymouth - 96
South Central- 85
St. Paul - 83
Monroeville - 77

Judging by the numbers in their lower levels of school in enrollment, it’s not going to get better for Monroeville. From the 7th grade on down there’s not a single class with more then 45 total students.

By comparison

Fremont St. Joe - 48
Vanlue - 24

I’m not sure how some schools keep it going.

They don’t. Just kind of wishful thinking with everything going on.

Glad to hear that. Thought maybe someone heard they were looking for an easier conference, like that other school you mentioned.

Sorry. My bad. There’s been no discussion of Monroeville not having football or having enough participation. I was more referring to the fact of dwindling numbers along with less interest at most schools if they’d start to have trouble having enough out for football when there’s not enough bodies in the school.

I guess it was just speculating if the FC ever reached out to anyone who’d be the best fit. IMO, if it gets to year three in a row of New London not having football I’d imagine some may become impatient with them.

May not be as good of a schedule as they have now, but NSP, Crestview, and WR would be very competitive with them. NSP and Lucas would probably be an even game most years, and lately so would Crestview.

If that ever happened then I’d think that Monroeville and Mapleton would take some severe beatings in football from the top 4 teams.

No doubt. A shame that Mahoney left Mapleton. They were very good for 5-6 years while he was there. Monroeville up and down, but has not reached that top tier in a long time

I am going to need to see thir scrimmage saturday. Will all three guys get reps? Keystone will be athletic at skill positions so this will be a challenge for whomever is at QB. Sounds like I need to watch the sophomore. Younger kids starting at key positions always intrigues me. Takes a special type of kid not only skill wise but mentality and poise. Whole new ball game from JV, and you know John Livengood makes no exceptions, if he puts you out there, you better be ready to go.

[1belowthepressbox]

Are there any interesting scrimmages scheduled?
