How many WestPAC teams will forfeit games in 2019 due to not having enough players to safely field a team?

Does anyone have any roster numbers?

[knowitall]

Accurate roster sizes won’t be available until game days.

[PortagePride]

Portage has 42 players on their roster as of the end of camp. Two starters are already out for the season with Injuries requiring surgery.

Is that up or down in number for Portage or is that usually the average?

[sportsfan1072]

Per Max Preps stats, that is down for Portage:

2018 - 52
2017 - 65
2016 - 51
2015 - 56

[PortagePride]

Yeah It's lower than previous years. Here's a class breakdown of the roster In case yinz are Interested In that.

Seniors - 10
Juniors - 10
Sophomores - 14
Freshman - 8

[Goldeneagles12]

Wow. Hope it's not a trend. Tyrone has 42 that's after 5 or 6 quit during conditioning and 2 a days.

I’m hearing at least one school does not have the 15 healthy, eligible players required by the PIAA and thus, one game is already in jeopardy for this weekend.
