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.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
