I understand the thought but I always told my son, who played football against bigger schools, don't ever be concerned with a guy standing on the sideline. He is there for a reason. And while your son was on defense against a bigger O-line and then goes on offense against those guys standing on the sideline for a reason (Defense), 11 more guys, on the sideline for a reason, are waiting to go into the game while your son is still out there. Makes sense to me, 11 vs 11. |

The point was, many teams have big numbers but some kids never see the field so there is not need to worry about those big numbers. |

Actually, those are pretty good numbers for both teams. |

That is true, but it was a follow up to the previous discussion. I'll take the right 40 kids in a football contest any day regardless of my opponents numbers. |

Go play Saint X or Moller (sp?) or Saint Eds with 40 kids let me know how that works out for you.

I would say the size of the school is important and that numbers are an advantage. 75+ at Coldwater, minster is a huge reason why they are so successful. You can not list one factor as the only thing that determines wins and losses. Tradition, community, talent and coaching all play a part. That said #'s often leads to more talent which does have an impact.
I would also like to clarify that # of kids in the school was also factor. 80 kids out of school with 500 boys vs 80 kids with 120 boys I would bet there is huge differences.

If you know anything about Coldwater and Minster, their numbers are not what makes them successful. All the other things you mentioned factor in to it. And don't forget their limited sports options in the fall. To clarify, we are not talking about high schools of 500 boys playing a school of 120 boys. But if we were, neither Northmor or Crestview would have been mentioned. |
