Well we have had some recent typical HS politic BS. Of coarse you have a new bunch of freshman players and crazy parents who have been crying about play time and positions already and we have only had a week of field practice. The same old story, " my dd has/does this on her travel team", "my DD can out play her", "my DD pitches better than so and so".
So the coach set up an inner squad scrimmage today.
roster......
8 juniors and 3 seniors vs.
7 freshman and 2 sophomores
Score was 27 ( older group ) to 4 ( younger group ) No mercy rule, full 7 innings
I'm sure the excuses will be pouring in by next week, but it sure was nice to see the complainers put in their place for a day!!!!
It might seem unfair, but I think the coach had enough and wanted to show the younger group they have some big shoes to fill before they can match up against the older group who has traveled more and longer than they have. And can out play them with a pretty good margin.
