BV rec? Is this the best players who didn't make their HS team?

No.

Gosh Mark, it almost sounds like CYO!

There are about 120 boys and 40 girls in this HS division of our local rec league. The boys are broken up into V and JV levels. Many of them are football players looking for something violent to do in the winter. Imagine a defensive cornerback guarding an offensive tackle. This is not uncommon.
The games are pretty rough, as you can imagine. In fact, in one game I called an illegal chop block on a player.
Frequently, both teams are in double bonus by the end of the first and the third quarters. In our lower grades (3-8), we restrict the teams to a maximum of eight players. We have to allow twelve per team in the boys HS division just due to the number who foul out each game. To make it even worse, the games are played in middle school gyms.
I usually bring at least three whistles, since I wear out about two per game.
