It turns out the JV coach really does have it in for DD 3.
Not a joke. I heard from other parents who were at the game.
The coach benched DD 3 almost half the game and put her at 1B instead of P or 3B.
Starting 1B had never played before. 3B was a great 1B but can't play 3B, made 6 errors.
They traveled 2 counties to lose 6-5 a game they should have easily won.
Now I know why everyone hates HS softball so much.

I think saying now I know why everyone hates HS softball was a bit exaggerated to say the least.
This was a case of where my DD 1 actually had fun in HS softball, at a low level.
Then I had so much concern about how my DD 3 was being treated, and that all seemed to go away when i saw her walk to the bus for her first game with girls she played with in elementary school, and also last fall. The moment they had played for all those years was here. Then I started hearing from other parents about how badly my DD 3 was being treated, and it was exactly as she had predicted the day before, in tears. That was a huge mood swing for me.
BTW, never more than 5 minutes on that after game speech. QUOTE]
Wow, you need to come tell that to the HC at my DD's school. They lost to a team that they were told they should beat. Their meeting started at the end of the game obviously. Lasted until the other team finished their meeting, cleaned up the dugout and got on the bus. Seriously, they were loaded on the bus and the meeting was still going on. Crazy.
