20-something players on a roster is pretty typical for Class A schools in eastern Kentucky, from what I've seen.
Pikeville is far from typical, plus it's bigger than a lot of the other Class A schools in the area.
Jenkins just has 26 on its roster last year, and I remember them with less than that some years, which is not really bad for schools with 100 boys.

I totally see your point, but it's still off. Based on official KHSAA rosters from 2015 for the true EKY schools:

Paintsville 43
Pikeville. 42
Hazard 48
Harlan 34
Pineville 32
South Floyd 33
Jenkins. 26
Phelps 19

That's an average of 35 players per roster. Paintsville has the smallest enrollment other than Jenkins if I recall correctly. That number would increase if I included Raceland and Fairview, whom had 61 and 37 players respectively listed on their rosters. But they are in an area with a much bigger population base so I left them out. Not belabor ing the point, because some of these schools ended season down quite a bit due to injuries and people quitting a do understand that. But roster numbers in the 20's are not fairly typical except at a few programs with no real football tradition.
