We had senior night at my son's school, he is a freshman and I am not familiar with what is normal for lacrosse, as my daughter played volleyball. There were 15 seniors this year. The coach lined them up and had them appear from least playing time to most (or I suppose least valuable to most valuable). It was obvious and the players knew it, and seemed surprised, this was new this year. It seemed very odd to me, as in a girl's sport players are typically honored on this night just for being in the program and graduating, and the team banquet is used to honor special accomplishment. Parents were very upset as this was different from previous years, where players were honored by jersey number. I think the boys already know if they are the team star, not every kid is, and it seemed almost sadistic for the coach rub it in, it ruined the night for some of the parents. Is this common in boys HS sports, or is the coach really as crazy as the other parents think.
