Kinda... but certain schools have different types of "challenges" maximizing their talent pool despite larger enrollment numbers

Kids in the program shows how well you're maximizing your talent pool.
Kids under enrollment is your talent pool.

Exactly! You have a larger talent pool to choose from. Now you have too have winning record to get those kids to come out and play football. Your going to have low numbers if the program is not winning. Many coaches are not successful because they do not get involved with these kids in middle school and start that winning culture. Numbers is not everything but if everything else is equal it is a huge advantage.

Kids in the program is the true number that matters and I think most folks miss that.

Of course, bigger schools have greater potential to have big numbers in the program, but it's no guarantee. There are probably 4A programs with more kids in football than some 6A schools.

WOW!!! How does over 4k make into D2?

They are in 6-6A. Five of the eight schools in that district have over 4k students (Coppell, Lewisville, Plano, Plano East and Plano West).

Its actually shocking that a lot of people don't understand that. I bet damn near every kid at Carthage plays football while Aldine can barely find 100 kids to come out

What's crazy is that North Shore's enrollment is 1681 over Westlake but I bet they have more kids in their program than NS does.

For the record, Katy's enrollment is 3,197 and Vandegrift is 2,726 (-471). Meanwhile, North Shore with 4,523 students is playing 2,842 Westlake (-1,681). Not sure Katy's the bully here lol

This 5’8”, 155-pound, speedster has tremendous quickness and vision finding the holes and blowing past the defenders. Davis’ fastest 40-yard dash time is 4.6 and compares his play to former NFL running back Reggie Bush.

His track stats compare to Payton Bowen’s who I know runs a low 4.4 to a high 4.3, so that number may be true of a sort. He may run a high 4.3 or z low 4.4

He's definitely a low 4.4 high 4.3 kid

" But just curious, is Katy's enrollment the highest out of all the D2 schools in the playoffs????"


They are the largest remaining but not the largest in D2 this year. That honor belongs to Coppell High with 4088 as of last realignment.

It'll be interesting to see what the next snapshot does for Katy....because I suspect it could tick up as we wait for the newest high school (to Katy's north) to open in 2024.

The feelers I've gotten from teachers at Katy HS is 3400+ students was/is a real stretch to accommodate. The target (so I'm told) is suppose to be 3000.

I know another teacher at Morton Ranch who said it was brutal there when they were over 3600 just prior to Paetow's opening. Now under 3000 students, the teachers find it so much better (w/o the overcrowded classrooms!)...but that drop out has taken an already low-numbers football program and thinned it out even more. They barely have enough kids to field two freshman teams, and still only enough for one JV team.

Just jacking with Gray man since he brought up enrollment. But just curious, is Katy's enrollment the highest out of all the D2 schools in the playoffs???? I am sure the Gray man would know this... Lol Only Mr. Gray has to answer...

There's a reason we call him.... 50 Hairs of Gray!
