FH / Ridge Freshman

[cumbfanatic]

I don’t know how many Freshman FH moved up, Ridge / FH is 12-12 at the half.

This forum is quiet

FH only had 17 or 18 for the Martinsburg JV game Monday I was told, so I’d guess they didn’t bring many up.

FH frosh beat Mtn Ridge tonight 32-12. Finished the season undefeated. FH didnt move any 9th graders up this season.

The JV finished 2-7. Ten soph starters got moved to varsity. No 9th graders moved up. Couldn't if they wanted to have a frosh team with numbers. Coaches knew the JV situation back in the summer. Kids that normally don't see the field never came off the field. That was the idea.

You're much better keeping them together as a team than moving them up to fill the JV roster.

Never understood the mentality of moving up freshman just fill a hole in the JV team. Is he ready talent and size-wise? If so, move him up. If not, leave him with the freshmen.

When FH took a head count last winter of this year's 9th and 10th graders, there were roughly 52 kids signed up. You can only play 11 at a time, which meant you would need like a 4th and 5th string. That doesn't offer much playing time for everyone if at all. Splitting into a frosh team was the only way to help get kids on the field consistently. I think they ended up with aprox 38 players combined even after moving up 10 to varsity. They took their win/loss lumps on JV but I think they got an "A" for developing players through lengthy game experience. All of their losses were one or two score games outside of maybe two of them.

The Hollidaysburg JV QB threw for over 350 yards on them. That Hollidaysburg JV team was really good offensively. The Golden Tigers are going to be solid the next few seasons.

Todd - How many local teams field a freshman team?

I wasn't even aware that Mountain Ridge did until it popped up on NFHS.

I believe Ridge only played 3 Freshman games. They had a JV team, then put Freshman together for 3 games. A lot of the freshman didn’t see action during the JV games

Thank you. That makes sense. I didn’t see it until recently.
