......bulldog_power wrote:Appreciate the insight winner-within. I don’t think anyone would deny that when you have more numbers, generally that means you can find more athletes. However, that is not the number one factor in if teams win or lose. Let’s look at triple A. Minot has a couple hundred more boys than any other school and they haven’t won any championships in football lately. That could change this weekend of course. I think we have to give these coaches more credit, yes having great athletes helps, but the good programs win year in year out because of the cultures those coaches have created. That culture is also some of the reason they get kids to come out and have bigger rosters. Just a couple examples from this year where numbers didn’t matter , nepolean won there region while linton had a lot more players out. Cavalier beat St. John, beach beat Mott and then MLS who had 35 kids out and beach only had 16-18 I think. Again, I agree that more kids could mean more players, but let’s give some credit to the coaches in our state who do a great job with our young men in all divisions.

9 man football when you're going to need a ton of points you should only be punting in rare circumstances.

"Trust your defense," is an outdated cliche. Zero evidence that you should trust your defense today (46 first half points). 20 yards of field position is basically nothing.

Shiloh didn't score after that punt...the actually exchanged punts. The coaches were both probably playing the 'field position' game...worked better for the Warbirds then the Skyhawks (Foertsch had big run after Shiloh's punt).
9-Man in ND is all about speed with all this extra space. I'd be interested to see some of the scores in ND if they did like MN and narrowed the field?!

The width of a MN 9-man football field is 40 yards. A regulation football field is 53 yards wide. If ND adopted the 40 yd width scoring would probably go down, but the game would be more realistic. IMO

Haha more realistic!!! More realistic like watching Shanley and St. Mary’s have to beat the 8 other teams in their class so they can play each other every year ?

Some 9-man football fans just don’t get it. Narrowing the field would improve the quality of the game. IMO.
