Doesn't mean the kid is a phenomenal player. Sometimes just need a body to fill a roster


The worst thing is our district where the program has been destroyed by the inability of coaches to have players share the ball so not only do we call up 8th and 9th graders but we call up unqualified players based only on numbers. Its a recipe for disaster and we live it every year. When will coaches learn its a team game?
