sports 4 fun

H Thanks Hoya 75,the problem i had with the post and quotes around school was that some of the girls that " got a ring for rideing on the bus " got very upset thinking that they had somehow caused all of this. There is more to the story than you have read in these post. I won't go into them becauce enough has already been said.Thanks for the invite, would be fun to play class acts. Call our coach.

The point to this is that St. Agnes has a varsity and a J. V. team. The J. V. team plays their games and the varsity plays theirs. During the year, a few girls from the J V would be brought up to games where the score could have been 20-0 to give them experience and reward them for their hard work. This was explaned to the parents at the first of the year by the coach and his staff. The school has many sports teams that travel, so like other schools, has a obligation to fund these other sports too. The decision was made to just take the varsity and a few girls to fill the roster. Also with the possibility of being there for a whole week,missing school was another issue. The school offerd to charter a bus for those who wanted to see the game Saterday, but only a few girls signed up. I'm telling everyone this because I felt like a few peaple where misled into thinking that our school was mistreting all of these very special girls that we have on our J V team that next year will have their chance to make varsity. The administration desided to give all of the girls rings even though it is not their policy to do so. This was not because of a disgruntled parent who has tarnised a special season for the kids, parents , and one of the most thoughtffull coaching staffs in the state at a time they should remember for life. IT was for the kids. Anyone that has to air this out in public so they can build up enough nerve to talk to someone about it should have talked about it first with the coachs . We at St. Agnes have a wonderfull adminisration, athletic department, and great kids. I hope that this in no way has left anyone with a bad impression of our school. After all, anyone who has been around either H S, club, or ODP soccer has had a few parents like this on the sideline.

Big G , thats cool but what if your brought up for a couple games so you can get playing time in a varsity game because the team your playing isn't as skilled and you don't want to run the score up?

I have a question. Is the answer to this that all J. V. players at a school that wins State get rings also ?
