My son plays on the freshman A team and went both ways alot of the time. Now he dosen't. He gets to play both sides of the ball but thru a rotation. Coach Faircloth said in a parents meeting that every freshmen player would play regardless of the score or the game. He wanted the boys to play and get more experience about the system. Im not worried in the least as to whether the Freshmen team gets blown out or wins. The coaches are putting these boys in the games and getting them valuable playing time !!! He is a man of his word and I respect him for that.

Makes sense. Why worry about having an undefeated freshman team at the risk of a lot of players hanging up their cleats from lack of playing time and interest. Some of those players might have developed and improved down the line and made a big contribution.
Whodat said:Just some perspective, I think you missed the point that Nederland played all of their B team first and second strings from the B team. The only points PNG scored were with tje starting offense in against the Ned second string B teamers. I was at the game and didn't see PNG playing backups like Nederland was. They played way more kids, just trying to keep it real. The Ned freshman group is very talented and very deep and they play an A and B team, and most of them can play.
