Wow. Adrian expecting 240????? From an artical:

"Adrian will field a team from a pool of about 240 players, including a freshman class of about 130. Of those freshmen, about 50 are from talent-rich Florida."

WOW

That is mind-boggling. They list 95 Sophomores-Seniors on the 2012 roster, of which only 15 are listed as seniors. My guess is that they just took last year's roster and moved everybody up one class. I suppose that they may bring in some transfers, but I would guess that the "pool" includes every non-graduating player from last year plus some transfers plus the "130" freshmen. (I wish I could see last year's entire roster, but it's not posted.) If there are anywhere near 240 that show up for the first practice I would be shocked.

Do they have enough grass on their practice fields to hold 240?  ;)

sflzman,

If the Adrian number of 240 is close to accurate, I hope the have several equipment managers and a huge budget for uniforms. Maybe they have more than one JV team, do you know? What about the other MIAA schools, do they all have JV teams or not? :-\

I can verify Trine, Adrian, Alma, Hope have JV teams. I would think OC and Kalamzoo also have them

Bricklin:

Olivet has a JV team also (they are listed on Hope's JV schedule as are the other teams, which is posted Hope's football webpage).  I don't recall that Kazoo has a JV team because they simply have not had enough players in recent years.

I seem to remember Adrian having 2 JV teams in the past - can anyone confirm?

FWIW - I just looked at the 2011 Adrian Football media guide, and it has 149 players listed.

Albion now has lights

Is Alma the only school without lights now or does Olivet not have lights either?

We have lights. Have played several night games, including our first game ever on the turf in 2004 was on a Thursday night.

Next up. In a couple hours. Hope's highlights of incoming freshman.

The one that is intriguing to me is #29 Fabrice Constant.  You can find some track info if you google him.  Seems like the Scots stumbled across some speed with that one.

The best i found for him was; This might not be his best but must be what he regularly runs

Fabrice Constant    12 Varela                   11.60Q  NWI  1

Not that fast and the video shows that he is getting caught. As i am looking at the numbers of past players under 11.1 is impressive. I am waiting for more schools to show there roster but is anyone under 11.0?
