I hear this argument about needing to not have 2 way players a lot. I agree that it would be nice but, if you run the program correctly and have the boys in shape that's not such a hurdle. We certainly don't have the numbers of a PT on a regular basis. We however, have won 9 in a row. We shouldn't have the numbers of Graves Co but, we have won 6 in a row. McCracken certainly had more playing both ways than did South Haven Friday. However, South Haven had more players go out for cramps and injuries and ended up losing. I think it has more to do with the coaching and fitness. The thing is, PT may have only 43 players but they are usually a very athletic 43. I think once they build the middle school and elementary programs, they will be okay. I remember 2 years ago thinking how many athletes their 8th grade had when we beat them. It was coaching. Those guys are sophomores so I'm sure they will have talent next year.

I am going to venture a guess...may look bad...but here it is


From classes 2A-6A I would say over 90% of your state champs over the past 6-7 years have had less than 5 guys who play iron man football the entire game.
