Freedom and EB could play back to back weeks to make up for the holes in their schedule now. Don’t know if that would be agreeable for both parties.

I read that comment on the other thread as 26 total JV and varsity with the majority being 9th and 10th graders. It seems like they made the hard decision to do what is best for the program and the largest amount of kids. There was no 100% perfect outcome going to come from this.

Trotting out 14 and 15 year olds that are not mentally, and definitely not physically ready, to handle 17 and 18 year olds in most cases definitely wasn’t the answer. Yes, some 9th and 10th graders are ready but the average majority are not ready to face varsity competition especially if they must carry the load of the team.

And every team loses players to injuries throughout the year. No way they could have sustained 26 players the entire season.
