Will there be any from the Freshman class making an impact on their varsity squads this season?

Doubleday - Has your son's school already had tryouts? I thought that the UIL start date was set for the end of January.

Question - From the players perspective, is it wise to play Varsity as a Freshman?

If tryouts were last fall, what happens if a football or basketball player wants to play? What if the QB is a better short stop than the kid who played fall ball?
Dane Evans and Matt Bishop are freshmen worth watching from the Denton area.

Three years ago I would have said it is VERY rare for a freshman to make, much less have an impact on varsity. FO's oldest was a freshman varsity stud, but it was almost unheard of. Then came Lipka and Lee at our school, Alves at Boyd, and Ford at West. The Average "very good" select player will struggle on varsity, but a stud is a stud, and it seems there are more and more of them.

Posters -- making positive comments about a player or players is one thing....and fine. Let's not get into negatives about players. Please clean up your posts using good judgment. Thanks.

Well, I always enjoy reading this type of thread were the "old" posters tell the "new" posters how the cow ate the cabbage. I am not saying that particurly in this thread, but I have seen it many times in this forum.
Fact is, Grapevine was a 5A playoff team that started 4 sophs last season. Season before had one of those sophs as freshman starter at SS on a playoff team for all 30+ games.
Wow..."how the cow ate the cabbage"...that's pretty old school itself.
You "new" posters keep believin'
