I have no problems with student score keepers at the lower levels as long as they know exactly what they are doing! My JV scorekeepers know exactly what they are doing because I teach them myself certain things they must do to maintain game flow and control. I would not have a problem asking one of these students to handle a varsity game if I were ever unable to.
