FWIW....
Earlier this season in a BJV game a HC mentioned it being a rivalry game when he felt an IF should have been called. His point was (and in thinking back on it later I thought it had some merit) that often "stuff" that goes on in the JV game carries over to the varsity game. Varsity is sitting in the stands watching the game, certain JV players from both teams also dressing for varsity, fans and students from both schools caught up in the importance of winning both games etc., etc.
