[LNP | LancasterOnline] Despite low numbers, Columbia is still thinking big for football success in 2024

It's a numbers game at Columbia, which is an all-too-familiar topic when you're chatting about Crimson Tide football.

Columbia finished last season at 2-8 overall, and the Tide suited up just 16 kids for their Week 10 finale against Hamburg.

They'll have more than 16 kids this time around, but probably only somewhere south of 30.

That's always a sticky wicket. Not only for games, but for practice.

"We have some lower numbers, and we know that," Columbia sophomore QB Cameron McClair said. "But we still have to play and we have to put up a fight and play strong, physical football. We're going to be the underdogs, but that makes us want to prove that we can play with the best teams in the section."

The Section Five chase should be crowded once again. Can Columbia wedge its way into the lead pack? That remains to be seen, as the Tide set sail on what they hope is a season where they keep throwing roundhouses and gain everyone's respect — even without an overflowing roster.
