It was an outstanding win at BR on the road. The game plan did look very good. The play calling was excellent. In my opinion that was Sponsel's signature win to date. In fact it was the first Fremd playoff win since 2010. I'm simply saying that for his career record to be what it is, something is obviously lacking. He has more talent available than numerous area schools yet in 6 years has always had either a 5-4 record or 6-3. That makes it tough to receive a favorable play off seed that will enable a long play off run.
Fremd observations....Anyone??

90 is a crazy turnout. Most 8A schools that I know of haven't seen those types of numbers for awhile - would probably have to go back 7 or 8 years to see that type of #.
Past couple years I have seen multiple 8A team with 50 to 70 Frosh.
I'm a private school guy but I get that it's kinda neat to see the boys from the hood grow out of their Halloween costumes into varsity jerseys seemingly overnight.
But private schools are different and special types of communities too. There are barriers and Catholic schools could never get those types of numbers of "prepared" players as Fremd. Why penalize so much? Althoff has 380 kids playing Rochester and Phillips?

And yet they had a varsity roster of 43 in 2015 and around 60-65 between Jr and Sr classes this year. Palatine and Fremd both have the same PAFA feeder program. Ask Quags, but I think similar numbers wind up at each school each year. 90 sounds like a really high number. Palatine has usually had 40-50 I believe
