I'm assuming this includes freshmen?St. Xavier dresses around 110
Div VII
Minster 63
Delphos SJ 49
Most of the Div VII teams in the regional semi's were under 40.
Thats pretty impressive for D7. Thats bigger than many D3 rosters

You would be assuming wrong, in fact, I'm pretty sure that doesn't include all of their jv's

DSJ fans, please correct me if I am wrong, but in 2000 DSJ played McComb in Lima. McComb dressed around 35 and DSJ dressed 104. They came out single file while McComb was warming up and surrounded the entire field. The game was over right then.
Nope. Actually it only includes a handful of sophomores. If St. Xavier dressed all their sophomores, juniors and seniors they would have over 180 kids on the sidelines. If they dressed freshman they would have over 250 kids on their sideline. That would be a little crowded. St. Ignatius is about the same.
Their roster is on their website, you can go there and count for yourself.
I think our roster, 9-12, around then was about 110. We were in the midst of the 57 game winning streak and back to back to back state titles and kids wanted to be a part of it whether they were athletic or not.
It was pretty cool to see them to see them circle the field and then line up on their end, 10 wide from midfield into the endzone.

Quick glance at the thread title and thought it might pertain to Crestwood football.
It seems like roster size contributes noticeably to success on the field.
For a team to reach the state finals requires 15 games. It's very difficult to get that far if guys are going both ways every Friday for what is essentially a season and a half.
And it's really difficult to replace starters when only a few warm bodies are on the sideline to choose from.
The teams with big rosters have a definite advantage. That's why it's impressive when squads with small numbers - like Hardin Northern 10-15 years ago - go deep in the playoffs.
Marion and Coldwater have been dominant small schools for the past 20 years - and, not surprisingly, their rosters are nearly always considerably bigger than their opponents'. As a Marion fan, I'm certainly not complaining - just an observation (and an obvious one I know).

Here's your answer for small division schools having bigger than expected rosters.
