The better players of "that team" will be varsity and the rest are JV. It's as simple as that. Another schools junior varsity team may be better than your whole team and visa versa. So, if the coach says he's going to have twelve varsity players, they should be the ones that have more to contribute or a certain skill needed to contribute to be varsity and the rest are JV. Sounds like your girl is really in a good situation. Being able to play varsity and JV really gives a player extra time on the field to hone their skills. I wouldn't complain about that at all myself. We always looked forward to our girls getting JV time to work on other pitches, positions or bat. It's win/win. B)

i am definitely not complaining, just curious. we have several underclassmen that get to play varsity. when i was in school you got a varsity letter or a jv letter and i didn't know if there was some kind of requirements for that. we love for her to play whenever they ask her to. in the varsity games, she is playing a position that she is new to and hasn't been able to show her "stuff" at her best position yet so we hope that in jv she will get to work some at the other positions. she is happy to get a chance to be in the games with the older girls any day. you're right she is in a good situation and she knows and appreciates it as do we.

I would consider your daughter a varsity player. She is contributing to that team by her participation on that team. Each school has their set of guidelines for what constitutes earning a varsity letter. I agree with the other comments about the fact that the more she plays the better off she will be for her future years as a softball player. My advice would be, and it sounds like you are, is to support her and her teammates regardless of which game she is playing for on theat particular day.

I would definately say she is Varsity. I don't know what position she plays but her getting a start every other game sounds like it depends on who may be pitching that day. You see Varsity players playing jv games from time to time to either rehab or if they are struggling at the plate. This is a very good position for your daughter. If she is a Freshman this is an awesome position for her.

      We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview.

      Smith County fans are delusional is they are wanting to get rid of Dyer. If they think they are supposed to be some powerhouse of a football program that wins 10+ games every year they need a reality check. Never have been that good of a football program and probably never will. It’s too hard for a small rural place to be consistently good every single year

      Who is the frontrunner for the championship for 4A in next year?

      If you’re talking about when they lost to Corbin HS out of Kentucky(4A school in KY) in 2017, they lost by 1 point and Corbin went 14-2 that year in Kentucky so to say they got “taken behind the woodshed by a mediocre out of state team” is a bit of a stretch. You act like Alcoa never loses at all. They lose games every year, granted mostly to Maryville but other teams have beaten them in the regular season. Alcoa just turns into another animal in the playoffs. Winning is a learned skill and it’s an advantage that Alcoa has over everyone when the postseason rolls around

      If Alcoa keeps winning titles after moving to 4a it makes the whole state look weak.  Havent they won 10 in a row or something.  My god how can a team win 10 in a row, and the 1 time they went and played a kentucky 3a team they got there ace's beat.  Some redbone coonhound team handled business on them, but they can constantly win 3a in tennessee.  I remember at the time looking up that redbone coonhound team that beat them, and found out that team is made fun of across the state of kentucky cause they havent won a title in like close to 50 years.  Think i seen they are now in 4a in kentucky, and they never won a title in the last 40-50 years no matter if they are 2a, 3a, or 4a but somehow was able to take alcoa behind the woodshed in the midst of there title run about 5-8 ,years ago dont remember the year.  Point is it looks bad when a team gets there hind end whooped like a 3 legged rented mule to a mediocre out of state team the 1 time they play them, but can dominate the whole state in 3a for over a decade.  Someone has to start beating them.
