With 54 kids, it's easy to assume those numbers are spread out evenly through all grade levels. That's simply not always the case. Galax didn't have a JV team last year. Not because they have a shortage of players, but because that shortage is confined to one grade level. Galax typically has 10 to 12 players per grade level. Last season, they had 4 freshmen. Difficult to field a JV team when half your sophomore class starts on the varsity team and you only have 4 freshmen.
Galax's numbers are similar this year to years past. Lower to mid 30's.
