To say Ludlowe football was at a low point in 2016 is kind of underselling it.
The team went 0-10 , playing in front of mostly empty bleachers with a roster that resembled that of a Class S school rather than the LL school Ludlowe is.
In fact, when Mitchell Ross took over as coach in 2017, he inherited a roster of 22 players.
Total.
He was able to add a few players through in-school recruitment and the team won a game in his first season though they still finished as the last-place team in Class LL at 1-9.
This preseason, the roster is topping out at close to 100 players.
