I took in my first Class D football game Friday evening as the local school is only three blocks from my place. The game was entertaining; although the local team lost in a blowout 28-0.
First of all, roughly 15 players on each side makes for everyone having to learn every position, regardless of size. That is why there are no listed positions in the noted rosters; only grade. It was wild to see four available players on the sideline when play was on. Too many injuries and things become interesting. Easy for coaching I guess as you don't have to look through a bunch of players on the sideline when substitutions need to happen. Tough for coaching, however, when the few available are crap players.
The quality of play was good as every school is going to have some shining stars, regardless how many kids go there. My two cents to the home team is to lose some coaches. They have almost as many coaches as players and that is too many voices.
Go Panthers.
