Will Pound be able to field a football team?

Just wondering if anyone else has heard that Pound may not have enough kids to field a team. Like to hear if anyone else has heard or has info on this.

It is my understanding that they should be fine however they may have to play more freshmen that they want to

You always have to play more freshmen than you want to at Pound.

I still talk to a few of the players and they say that there are not as many players that have come out as in the past couple of years but there should be around 23-25 when all is said and done.

Ask me how many will be there clintwood week. We had, at maximum, 13 players show up that week each of the last three years. I called it "greenwave fever."

I don't think they will have to play more than 2 or 3 freshmen though.

So much for K Y Jelly(joke) getting much talent from Pound when consolidation comes around next year.

Seriously, I hope they can field one. What is the situation on Ervington fielding a team this year?

Word is that the numbers at Ervinton will be about normal good enough to have a team and bad enough to make things tough

Ervinton should be in a little better shape than usual I believe. I think they have quite a few freshman coming out.

I hear that they have a Freshman Running back that many are already comparing to Gabe(sp?) from a few years back

Gaby was tough. His last name is Bowen I believe. Hes not as big as Gaby (at least as I remember him), but the kid is like a rock. Been lifting weights hard since the 7th grade and pretty quick as well. Getting popped by some big varsity kids might be an eye opener, but, he is going to be a solid ball player I do believe, and should be really good in the next couple of years.
