Very odd considering their recent success
After seeing them this summer at a team camp, not shocked. They had 5 guys and I am pretty sure 2 of them were in junior high....it seemed pretty bleak that they were going to be able to field a team this year.
It sounded like a couple of them got hurt in football, but they also have 20+ out for wrestling and couldn't get a few of them to move over to basketball to fill the team. I believe 1 or 2 of them also went to Ord.
This feels like a trend that is likely to continue in the Class D schools. Weather it be because schools have strong wrestling programs or just a culture of not participating in extracurriculars participation is decreasing quickly it seems.
And this is not a school culture thing...it is a problem with our society. It is what it is. Not saying you said it was - just adding on to your comment.
