If my read of the new enrollment numbers are right, Manchester is the second smallest school in the PAC and one of the smallest in DV.
who are these two linemen ?? there are no 9th graders ready to play varsity football at MHS

With all the graduating football players from this year at Manchester I was really shocked only one of them got athletic money from their perspective college. One wrestler a full athletic tuition and one football player a full athletic tuition and that’s it. No baseball, tennis, soccer, golf or track that I know of. I know there should be at least one more next year in football
TC, no surprise there. However, they have picked up two BIG linemen this year. One sat out last year and the other will be a Freshman. Numbers are always low at Manchester. Lots of thoughts as to why.
a lot of them are going to college just not to play football ....
I've wondered about the declining numbers, especially at a school with such a winning tradition. I know overall enrollment is down, but the ratio of boys playing football also seems to be off. Soccer now takes some of those kids, but I think that program is valuable and provides an outlet for students who otherwise might not play a sport. I know when I was in school it was not uncommon for 20% to 30% of the boys from each class to participate in football. Maybe there are just other options for these boys, or maybe it's parental decision? Not sure.
Parks is going NOWHERE and will be playing!In no particular order
Orville- really depends if Parks stays or able to play
NW- Mick Transfer is huge, however it wasn't the QB who held them back the last few years.
CVCA- There is no replacing Tre Tucker but this a tough, gritty group of seniors that aren't afraid of anyone
Manchester- Hard to bet against these guys, They have 2 of the best players in the league. If they get some QB and line play look out.
Probably Loudenville as well. Those kids play tough, hard nosed football.
Parks is going NOWHERE and will be playing!
Who has the toughest OOC to start the season?
CVCA has a road game at VASJ, home vs Aurora and on the road at Revere. That's probably the toughest 3 games that the Royals has ever started the season against.
We play Revere at home this year.
It's official: Ethan Wright has committed to Duke. Good choice for him. Excellent academics, and a chance to play early.
With rumors churning that both Manchester and CVCA may be looking to be on the move out of the PAC, are there any contingency plans in place to fill their clots if they do leave? Hate to see PAC break up, the league has really started to come on strong
Young Guy, what new regime ? and do you mean they will make decision on whether to stay in league or leave ?
