I'm not or never said that people follow JV or keep track of what their record is past the year. What I said was that the kids involved should be proud of what they've accomplished. Stardust must be a democrat because those are the only people that seem to claim they win an argument without actually stating anything other than patting themselves on the back. So according to his logic if a team wins a church softball league or inter-mural sport they shouldn't feel good about that or let their confidence grow. It is good to develop a winning attitude and mentality when your varsity is 1-10. Could some of the kids have helped maybe, but we'll never know. I had to coach both varsity and jv in every job I've had and to me winning felt good at both levels and losing hurt the same at both levels. I guess I am odd and value winning more than some people. I coached the young kids just as hard on Mondays and Thursdays as I did the varsity on Friday. I don't believe you can discount winning at anything. It makes you feel good to win and these kids should feel good about it. Does it matter in the grand scheme of things? Not particularly unless these kids can carry over that attitude into varsity. Only then can you say that it was worthless or didn't matter. If these freshman and sophomores go on to be a good team then certainly you can credit that little bit of joy they experienced in JV winning to that success. I for one would take a winning JV team that learned how to win in tough games and blowouts over one that just lost every game and you get your players feeling defeated before they get the chance to play on Friday. Another thing you have to consider is this is a 6A school, not many freshman and sophomores contribute on this level. You should have too many upperclassmen that are better so that you don't have to play this kids so they can develop physically and mentally to play in this class. I stand by my argument that Stardust should show a little class on not talk about 14-15 year old kids and if you use this as a means to berate and belittle children I'd fire you in a heartbeat if I were the head coach there. That's classless and immature.
