This year the Tigers are dressing somewhere between 30-35 players. Kinner has really generated a lot of interest in the football program.

Something to ponder... after going back thru the years of Tiger Football team photos... back in the early 80's over the years, Paintsville had and has had around 30-35 players as well.
I find this an almost freudian type of topic... while it's interesting to understand why this question is always being asked... it's also amusing to know how many players are actually "playing" on the teams with the larger player count... (only 11 guys can be out there.... even if no one plays both ways... and you have a different guy kicking field goals, punting, kickoffs.... I mean in a game, if your team's bodycount is like 75... does this mean everyone will get adequate time... sometimes bigger is just bigger... the old quantity/quality discussion....
Would you rather be a frosh-soph-jr standing around waiting to maybe get in, if the score warrants wholesale substitutions, or would you rather be out there knocking heads in the heat of battle at every game? I guess it's just all in what you want to get out of it, but this constant questioning of numbers has been asked and answered. In a school our size, with coaches from other sports finally being cool about kids playing more than one sport, we're fine and will be fine. Maybe there is something in the air and the wind of change is blowing in an old school traditional direction... it's about time.
