FWIW, This past week was week #8 out of 10.

And while our CYO JV rules stress an emphasis on its instructional nature, my own take is that to give the ball to the offense again in this situation when there is no rule basis (I know some leagues/sports may give a mulligan in this age group & situation, but our league does not) goes against the philosophy of teaching why this is a violation, but also unjustly penalizes the defense for their good defense and their knowledge of the rule that says they should have the ensuing throw-in as the offensive team.
