Some of our JV teams are better than many varsity squads in some other areas.

Having worked games in SoCal, I can attest to what SDS speaks. The baseball there is beyond anything found anywhere in the world. If it were not for the money, MLB players would move up the skill scale by playing in JV games in San Diego.

Of course, I jest, since they would have expired their eligibility.
