Winning Isn't Everything ...

I always tried to get our sixth grade "junior varsity" players into the varsity games as often as possible. I just couldn't see sending them home for the Christmas break without getting into a "real" game. Every year the last four players selected on our fourteen man roster were told in advance that they would be considered "junior varsity" players, but I always tried to get them into the "varsity" games. They worked just as hard at practice as the ten "varsity" players. And sometimes, due to illness, or injury, we needed them in the varsity games, so I figured it was best to get rid of the "butterflies" as soon as possible.
