Watterson has won a grand total of two football titles in the play-off era, I hardly call that a dynasty, and they have had many lean years. You want to talk about numbers, however you still IGNORE the basic fact that you used Columbus and its booming population while having low participation rates today as part of your argument. Without even realizing the rapid decline in student population. The JOKE here is the fact that you fail to even consider fewer students is also an issue to declining participation rates. I have acknowledged these other issues, and interjected some basic mathematical facts, and you've lost your cookies.

Maybe I was a bit harsh on the irrelavant comment, but since their State Championship they have had 6 losing seasons to 3 winning seasons with an IMPRESSIVE 32 wins and 51 losses. Real consistent power there! This century they are over .500 based on two seasons and since 2002 they have 8 winning seasons and 8 losing seasons. That's the work that places like Colerain, Marion Local, Ironton, Wheelersburg and Coldwater and hundreds of other schools wish they could emulate I am sure. They are not significant in play-off winning%, appearances, number of playoff wins. In fact they are not even close to being the historically best catholic school in Columbus in the sport of football, and over the past 30 years have failed to string together year after year of success like many other public and privates.

Even in Texas which is seeing a growth in population, the particiaption rate for football per school is declining:
