QB Travis committed to Grambling Ath Hurst committed to Memphis They have a gigantic lineman who goes both ways about 6โ5 345 so itโll be interesting to see he and Dare Battle it out. Team is much more than just those 3, St Helena is really talented as seen in two close games with Amite. Game should be really really good. Admittedly going for St. Helena in this one only cause of an Aunt and Uncle lol

Thanks bro...I appreciate the info. Rosenthal and Scott are really good players, but the Matthews kid (#13 I believe) impressed me the most last week at LB. Kid was all over the place. Also the DL from Red River #73 was pretty impressive as well. I don't recall his name though.

Balanced offense that can score off the run or pass and a speedy defense thatโs also physical, that can stop the run or pass

I think St Helena has a better 'team concept' of what they are doing and can beat Ferriday, but the Trojans may finally be able to pull out a big win

Iโm pulling for St Helena. They played football and took care business when not many folks game them a chance. Lol, I also donโt want to see Cisch O on the sidelines with Ferriday as we were informed by Kingboo was going to happen!!! Best of luck to St Helena.

But Seriously to be logical I believe St. Helena may be the most complete team left in 2a whats your definition of "complete"? Yes st Helena is a tough team..I went to the first game between amite and Helena..it was a hard fought game..st Helena had 3 big key fumbles in that game and amite capitalize on 2 of them and amite had 1 offensive touchdown..amite won 18 -12..st Helena won the second 35-32..Helena have 2 running backs can run that ball..and QB is dual threat can past the ball..this should be a very good game..

What is the boy/girl ratio? It's highly possible. Max high school enrollment for a class 2A school is 425. Many had 318 students. Let's say that only 40% are boys. This gives you 127 boys. If 75% of the boys play football then that's 96 players. Now what if the ratio is 50/50. Then that gives you 159 boys and if 75% play football, then you can have a team with 119 players!! I think the issue is that in most class 2A schools, there just isn't enough participation. You might have most schools With only 30% of the boys playing football, so you have lots of teams with 50-60 players. There are a few schools where you will get very high participation in football, like 60% to 80%of the boys playing football. If other schools do this, you will see Vlass 2A schools with teams of 80-90 kids.

If other schools do this, you will see Vlass 2A schools with teams of 80-90 kids. I like to use local ZIP code information to determine the male/female ratio in schools and the participation rate in football. In Livingston Parish, the school's attendance zones are divided roughly by the local ZIP codes. For example: Springfield High School's attendance zone is almost the same boundary as the local ZIP, 70462. Many's ZIP is 71449. Latest estimates show that there are 745 kids aged 13-18 in Many's ZIP, 398 boys and 347 girls. Unfortunately, Many's ZIP code also includes Negreet High School, so this leaves it impossible to precisely determine how many boys and girls go to Many specifically. The information also states that about 5% of eligible students aged 13-18 do NOT attend school at all, and an additional 6% attend a Private school. So, about 11% of students in the 71449 ZIP code do not attend Many or Negreet, which leaves about 663 kids (about 89% of eligible students) that attend one of those schools. If Many has only 318 students, that should leave Negreet with 345, but we know that simply is not the case. Either Many has more students than it reports (which I doubt), or Many's attendance zone is vastly different from their ZIP code, which is probably the reason for the population difference. Meanwhile, Springfield's comparison is fairly accurate: There are currently 449 kids (242 boys; 207 girls) aged 13-18 in Springfield's local ZIP, 70462. Springfield is the only high school located in the 70462 ZIP code, so we can much more accurately determine the male/female ratio at the school. About 7% of eligible students aged 13-18 do NOT attend school at all and about 4.5% attend a Private school. So, about 11.5% of students in the 70462 ZIP code do not attend Springfield High, which leaves about 397 kids (88.5% of eligible students) who do attend. The last enrollment numbers has Springfield with 388 students. That's only 9 off, and I'm sure that Springfield has gained a few students since the last LHSAA "Student Census". Breaking it down by gender for Springfield, boys come out at about 216 and girls at about 181 using the ZIP statistics. I got those numbers by taking 52 (the approximate number of students who do not attend Springfield but who live in the 70462 ZIP), dividing the number by 2 (52/2=26) and taking the original number of boys (242) and girls (207) and subtracting 26 from each (242-26=216 and 207-26=181). Springfield averages a team size is between 45-50 players at the beginning of the season. This translates to Springfield having about a 21-23% participation rate in football out of approximately 216 boys. If you want to view these statistics yourself, for free, you can just go here: www.unitedstateszipcodes.org/ and search which ZIP code you would like to look at. There is a lot more info than just population stats and you can search ZIPs across the country as well, so have fun.

There is roughly 1,100 high school students in Sabine parish, any male student is eligible to attend Many. And being the LHSAA doesnโt enforce rules anymore anyone in the surrounding parishes can simply use a different address. This might explain why they have such a high number.

Exactly, like I said, the average Class 2A school might have 160-200 boys. If ONLY HALF played football, you would have Class 2A teams with 80-100 players. But like LivingstonNerd said, the participation rate is in the 20-30% range. School like Curtis, Evangel, Many, etc, might have 70-80% participation, hence the larger football teams

I've seen them from across the field; they may have 80-90 bodies but I'm not sure they're football players. No offense to the boys, but maybe some want to be a part of something and a school that's been in Championships and semi-finals the past several years can draw that. What else are they supposed to do over in Many? play soccer? swim? The community and school supports the program and kids seem to be a part of one that wins

But according to Kinder math wizards that has to be 4A depth. That 90 players just canโt happen in a regular 2A team, just canโt be. No need to explain to me.
