Carrington is young. 1/2 of the starting line up both ways are sophomores and they have yet to play a game with 11 starters due to week one injuries. Numbers of kids are down simply due to the number of boys being down. Enrollment wise Carrington could actually qualify to be 9 man next year, but doubt that will happen.
No one has quit to my knowledge. An all Stater last year chose not to play this year to focus on rodeo. (He's one of the best in the nation, but was also a heck of a football player.)
The two new coaches have DEEP roots to the game and are great football minds. The kids appear to like them and enjoy playing for them. Nobody wants to use the term "rebuilding year", as expectations are high for this bunch, even though they are young. They continue to improve each week and contrary to public opinion are progressing. If they keep progressing, they will be a playoff team which would be a great experience for a young team.
And that's "what's up" with Carrington.
