The official 15 player roster, which included 9 guys and 6 girls, has slowly deteriorated over the past couple of weeks. Two new players were unable to commit to a full season, while JT and Rumaldo are currently involved with their temporary work assignments in Louisiana. On top of that, injuries are still occuring, even before the season officially begins. Jessica is still healing from her sprained ankle from last season and is unsure when she will be back this season. Jacob was involved in a motorcycle accident last Friday morning. Although he sustained no serious injuries, he is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.
With the roster now down to 9 healthy, commited players, Coach Scott doesn't see any need to create panic.
"I am confident that anyone I put out there to fill in the vacant positions will help us continue our winning tradition. We are not at full strength, but we don't have to give up either. Everyone that steps out on that field in B.I.A. black will do his or her part to help bring another championship home."
Although a consistent roster is ideal, Coach Scott understands that unexpected events will cause any roster to be modified.
"I want all of our injured players to heal up. I want all of our players who are unable to commit to take care of their business. Their spot on the team will not be lost. I want them to be at 100% physically and mentally when their time has come to rejoin the team."
