Around here the difference is only $5 on a TWO game G/B set.

I live in a community that has all large-ish schools. So a JV DH puts me Home by 6:30 when My Var games puts Me home between 9:30 and 11. Many times working a JV DH is better ball than the Mid level Varsity games I have to travel farther to work.

Nights with a non-competitive, long commute Varsity game makes Me wish I had worked a local JV set.
