Looking at Calhoun Varsity Roster on Maxprep. It was at 35 Varsity Players, at last check it is now at 40 with 6 of those being Sophomores. I cannot remember when Calhoun had that many Sophs on Varsity before. Add that to no JV Black Schedule/ team for this season and I'd guess the participation numbers are down from previous seasons. Could be the lower enrollment catching up to the football program or not as many kids wanting to play football. Either way it surprises me a little. I don't think this is a horrible thing at all. If they are talented sophomores and will either start or get significant playing time then it is a very smart move. Back when Steele was actually good Jinks would always have at least that many sophomores on varsity and every one of them either started or played a lot on special teams and when giving starters rests and in 'cleanup time'. He would start a Jr over a senior when both were about equal talent and a sophomore over a Jr in the same circumstance. Looking at the roster in a little more depth 4 of them are OL/DL. And If Whit is bringing them up they will play. May not Start but will play. And I do like having young guys in the OL/DL for 3 years.

It could happen DCTF Picked Calhoun 3rd last year and this year in district and they proved them wrong and came in second last year. I honestly don't think Miller or Alice can stop Calhoun's running game with the Linemen Calhoun will have this year but Miller could maybe outscore them don't see that happening with Alice Calhoun's going to run all over them guys...

Calhoun usually reloads. Whitaker is a good coach, but offensively I would be surprised if they can be as good as last year. You don't replace that kind of talent. Defense hurt them last year and if they are better this year, then yeah, another solid team. I fully expect that.

The key to the Alice/PLC game and Alice winning is who they matchup against the PLC offense and whether or not they can get the stops and not get worn down on that side of the ball.

I really don’t see PLC dropping down much at all. Kids are always big and strong, Whit has the system in place to reload like they do every year.

To be fair this will be the best team Alice has had since Alice and Calhoun have been in the same district. The last two teams weren't very good. Now I'm not saying that's a win for Alice by any means. I fully expect PLC to reload. Whitaker has a good program.

This is a class of Alice kids that we used to brag about for dominating everyone in 7 and 8th grade and not taking their first loss until 9th grade which were close losses and with a couple from their class already on Varsity as freshmen or they don't lose in the 9th grade either. Granted they have lost a couple of kids since then but the young talent under them is just as good. They will not lose to Calhoun this year.

So Why can't Calhoun reload without Stewart and Johnson. And Yes the Calhoun Defense needs to be much much better than the last several years. No telling what may change with a new DC.

Despite losing Jarius Stewart & their 2,000 yard back Steve Johnson they got shoes to fill. Coach Whit has done a solid job finding ways of getting them Calhoun bunch to compete & they’ll be a playoff team this season

Because Miller still brings back 9/8. Calhoun brings back next to nothing.
