BL JV is weak this year, but that’s more due to Varsity keeping 50+ guys on a roster instead of more evenly distributing talent. If 5-8 of the varsity benchwarmers were on JV, it would be a huge difference-maker, and there’d likely even be trickle down to the FS level. They play starters deep into the fourth in blowout games so it’s not like those 9/10th graders are seeing the field in a meaningful way. It’s not a way to build a program, but it does keep noisy parents happy since their sons get a jacket.
When doesn't BL keep 50 on Varsity and only play 16-18 of them? They usually keep 5-7 juniors on JV and finish in the top 4 every year to make playoffs. They did not keep any juniors this year which is a good thing and look what has happened so far-one win over JC. There are probably 4-6 holdbacks that are junior age.... Buts its BL/Crabs. If you want 5-8 benchwarmers on JV, then you would be moving juniors back down to JV because there are only four sophomores on Varsity and one is a goalie. If Calvert Hall & BL did not put juniors on JV, they would not be top 4 every year. Move juniors up or cut them. Don't rig the system.
