You need to do what you think is best when coming to the players.

Sad to see this happen. Got their first win in a few years though so you can hang your hat on that.

Good call

I have seen teams go to the playoffs with not much more players than that.

Rosecrans did several times this decade with 16.

I think Trimble went 10 and 0 and playoffs with like 18 kids and some of them out for season and alot of them hurt but still did it.

Yeah buddy, but you need to realize that kids from Trimble are groomed to play football from a very young age. The kids from Trimble are forced to believe there is nothing more important at that time than playing football. The kids from Fed are groomed from a very young age to be farmers and are forced to believe there is nothing more important than farming. It show too! I mean Trimble has an excellent football team and just look at the farm fields in the Fed district, They are beautiful!

Just curious here but does FH have a youth program any more? I know when my son was younger we played FH with the Tomahawks program and they had some big kids. That was also the time frame when they were a playoff team a few years later. Are they still utilizing a youth team?

Sad to see this. Glad the kids got a win though.

They had a great football team a few years ago, in middle school, losing only 2 games each season. As they hit high school, a lot of those boys quit. It just has went down hill from there. They cannot get the boys out for the program, for whatever reason. It's very sad. I look for Fed to do away with their football program all together

I find it surprising that one of the THREE superintendents they have couldn't have seen this coming and prevented it.
You read that right a school this small has 3 superintendents.
1, A regular Super
2, An asst. Super
3, An advisory Super who gets part time pay and full time benefits.

Read an article talking about Fed cancelling their season. In it, it stated that Trimble has offered to have senior athletes from FH come to Trimble on senior night to be recognized. I have to admit, thats a class act. Whoever came up with that, deserves a round of applause.
