Cool My experince

Several years back, our CYO JV team was all 4th graders and somehow got placed in an all-6th grade division.

We played one team that beat us 36-1. Thing is, the coach didn't take his starters at when he went up by 30, as required by the league rules and the officials chose not to enforce the rule when reminded of it...

So, when I sent the game report to the league office, I asked them to review the game and the circumstances, since in their handout, they mention that they will scrutinize games with 30+ decisions to make sure good sportsmanship was present. While I'm not sure if the league did anything, the next time we played this school, they brought their winless team to play our winless squad. (That game was much closer, a 16-20 loss ).
