It is embarrassing and sad to do to a kid who has been a hardworking teammate for 2-3 years.


Someone is sour....most likely any freshMan strong enough to make varsity will not be getting cut as a junior or senior. More likely that kid or kids will be the team leaders by that time. That's the whole point isn't it? Developing a core group for the future of the program. No coach will cut the hardworking players you mention as long as they are strong enough to contribute the team. Wins- that's what it's all about. This is HS not PAL


Actually my son has been on varsity for 4 years at a top program, started for last 3. He's a senior. Some of his friends have lost their starting positions to younger kids that may or may not be better. Last year Jr.s We're cut down to JV to make way for sophomores some who contriuted, others did nothing. It's gamble, but these kids are deeply hurt by some of the decisions made where a young kid may be good, but unproven in his ability to compete against top competition. I say let them wait! Another thing is that it's not special anymore when you have already been playing varsity for 4 years, just another day at the office!


So, When your son was in 9th grade and moved up to varsity (and did not even start)that was a good thing and he deserved it and he was going to be a huge contributor for years to come but now that he is a senior and his friends are losing playing time or getting cut, now it's time to "let them wait" - sort of like a son of immigrants running for president on a no immigrant platform


Mr. Ignorant. No one is running on a no immigrant policy. Trump is running on a no ILLEGAL immigrant policy. Huge difference. Its people like you that put Obama in the White House.
