The Constitution State ...

I figured that I would add my two cents. Public, and Catholic, high schools here in Connecticut field three teams for each gender: varsity, junior varsity, and freshman. Officials are expected to go by the book (pregame conference, jackets, observe warmups, pregame coaches and captains, check the book, etc.) for all three teams, with the possible exception of taping up a few numbers to make them legal, or non-duplicates, for subvarsity games.

Private prep schools pretty much follow suit with the exception of having A and B teams on the subvarsity level. If parents are paying thousands of dollars to send their kids to a private school and the kids want to play basketball, the school makes sure that there are teams available.

I've never heard of sophomore basketball teams before I joined the Forum. Football, yes, Basketball, no.
