Define depth? Cause Ashland is very deep I certainly wouldn't think a smaller school like belfry would play more kids than Ashland? Ashland has a lot of kids that only play one way. And a lot of quality players coming off the bench to give the starters a breather

I can't speak for Ashland, but Belfry only has a handful of players who play both ways:

Messer- TE/DE, probably the only player who plays nearly the entire game on both sides

Robinson- HB/S, will play nearly every defensive snap, but frequently subbed on Offense when Belfry moves Carr to HB and run Hatfield at FB.

Warren- QB/CB, will play every snap at QB naturally, subbed very frequently on Defense as the Pirates have about 4 or 5 CB's they rotate.

Belfry's entire OL and DL essentially play one way save a few guys who sub on opposite sides of the ball. Both of Belfry's Interior LB's (Ghormley and Mullins) play exclusively one way, Belfry's two primary ball carriers (Johnson and Carr) do not play defense.

Belfry is a smaller school but they are a distant and far cry from their old days of iron man football and are EXTREMELY deep for a 3A school.
