Some may say if you have 10-15 girls that can really play you're blessed. That may be, but it's a double edged sword. High school season gets 36 games if we are lucky and don't have any rain outs then it's post season. My team is loaded from top to bottom. About 14 of the 25 girls can play on any varsity team. I've already signed 3 of my 5 seniors and the other two have received multiple offers. I have a junior class or 2 that can and will probably play at the next level. Out of the 10 sophomore I have 1 has already had discussions with SEC schools and about 4 more will play college ball. On top of that I have a middle school kid who is the cream of the crop. Has 5 SEC schools who are foaming at the mouth to get her. This year we have the ability to go as far as we want to go. However, the issue I've ran into and the issue that I knew was coming and tried to head it off at the pass is how to manage this talent without causing problems. Eventually I'll have to pick a set line up which may include playing a middle school kid who is a phenom over a senior who has started 3 straight years. Or, moving upperclassmen around in a different spot. I've already caught hell over it and I have also overheard players trying to talk smack about other players. I'm to the point where I know I have to do what I have to do to win but how do you convince upper class men that in order to win we have to play the best regardless of age? I mean I can't just play them all and this game isn't a game where you can sub in and out. The line up has to be consistent at some point to get in a rythem
