Looking at the ht/wt of these kids returning next year and can’t help but be stunned at how undersized/small they are. My son’s Freshman team here in Texas is bigger than these kids and we are a smaller school than Artesia. The ‘96, ‘97 and ‘98 bulldog teams I played on all had good size, what the heck happened? I could make a tacky joke here as to why the 'Dogs are so undersized, but I'd better not.
I first heard it years ago from Roswell LL honcho Stirling Grant. Artesia's all-stars were playing Noon Optimist in the district tournament in Roswell, and NO's 12-year-olds had some rather tall-looking players. I asked Stirling how that was possible, and he told me his tongue-in-cheek theory.

New head coach for RRHS is Gerrard (Geri) Pannoni from Lorton VA. He bought a house in RR and applied for the job. He had a successful 40 year run as head coach (no career record in article). His team won the 6A Virginia state championship last year going 15-0. Ther are 54 teams in the state in that division. Should increase the attendance for home games with all the Italian Americans in RR. I don't count I already go (LOL). They look bigger then when i played in 78 79 and 80.
