Sandman: In the end, how can someone be legitimately upset about their kid NOT making a H.S. team when:
a) The coach keeps 30-or-so kids on varsity. And
b) That 30 has already been watered down by movement to BE, AMHS, Academy, etc.
The reality is, if you're really upset about your kid NOT making the team -- if THAT'S your priority -- transfer your kid to BE or AMHS. Just don't be surprised when he's cut there, too.
In the end, it's NOT about too many kids for too few positions. It's about each kid's ability to play and make an already bloated roster. Once you get 30 deep at ANY school in SC, regardless of enrollment, NOBODY can complain.
