South and Shanley had to co-op to have a Varsity/JV for Hockey. Their are over 90 kids out for baseball between the 2 schools.
The numbers dont even come close to comparing.
You are right at the high school level. The 3rd high school created a bit of a demographics problem for South.
That said, at the termite and mite level they are setting records for participation.
I am just giving you the numbers and the growing levels of participation at the youth level. I have specific numbers but my point was if kids are playing hockey and enjoying it and growing up in North Dakota they are going to typically choose a team to cheer for at the college level.
