Actually, since Coach Thompson has been in place, WO-S does not suit out all of its JV for post season games.  While I would like to tell to you that it comes out of some sort of lesson that he is trying to teach the kids on the subvarsity teams that they have to earn it, the explanation is a lot simpler. 
It comes down to money.
It is just the fact that as schools like WO-S and Hardin-Jefferson are schools who have decreased size and thus, decreased athletic budgets.  And in Sour Lake, that decreased budget got stretched even further with the recent realignment which significantly increased the travel the Hawk teams have to make to meet their district opponents.  Sometimes, a line has to be drawn and where that line stands is not always in a great place.
Sure, I would have loved to see every sub-varsity player get to suit up at Minute Maid, NRG or any other pro facility that one of schools get the opportunity to play for.  Coach Sloan and Coach Kirkland likely share that wish.  But when the money ain't there, the money ain't there.
Yes, I know I will hear from folks from other schools, "Welcome to our world!"  Quite frankly, I don't know how folks like Evadale, Big Sandy, Sabine Pass and High Island do it given the travel schedules to district games and even more onerous, the travel schedule that being in Region IV will present.  But I am sure that Coach Williams, Coach Hooker, Coach Laird and Coach Bronkhorst have the same lines that they have to draw to pull it off.
   

First off they did dress the juniors who are on JV and moved them up for the rest of the season. The rest of the JV team is made up of freshman. The reason they did not dress them was because they had a game on Tuesday. You can only play one weekday game during a school week and if they had dressed them for this game then they would have all been ineligible for the Tuesday game. Huffman did not dress their JV either. Many of the JV kids came to the game on the football bus or with parents. The plan I have heard is to continue trying to do this program. That will give the kids that didn't play this year incentive to stay with the program and work towards playing at Minute Maid.
