    Maybe they didn't get a trophy at the end of the year...and got mad.
    Nah but seriously...it's not a big deal.  I think junior high kids probably play in junior high just to get a feel for it.  There are probably large numbers of kids that don't make it through high school.  For various reasons.

    Kids either buy in or they don't
    If you start something, finish it. If you don't want to be a part of something anymore, get out of the way of the kids that do.

    I should not post on this matter but I have no filter sometimes so here goes me being stupid:
    Here is a fact: Coaches cannot play every kid. They just can't. It doesn't mean they don't like the kids not played and that there is a specific reason for it. There can only be 22 guys on the field during every play. At any given point I'd say close to 16-18 of those never leave the field and are established starters. So that leaves only a few spots that rotate. Now when injuries occur, coaches have to make a difficult decision of who to plug into that spot and all the while considering a number of reasons as to why that person is next in line.
    Always remember, coaches are employees to an employer. Coaches not only want to win, their families need them to win. Can't win, they are looking for a job. And do some of you realize the pressure put on these men and women? Think about it. Some of you wanted to send BF packing for losing one game in particular each year for six years. It didn't matter the Indians have only missed the playoffs once in his tenure, it was that one loss. 
    So in general, don't blame a coach for making personnel decisions they make to put their TEAM in a position they feel gives them the best chance to win.
    Like people have said, if you have a question then do yourself a favor so you can get the answers you seek, ask. But do it like an adult and respect the answer you get whether good or bad. Coaches are humans like the rest of us. They make decisions at their job and sometimes those decisions don't work. They either learn from it or don't. Just like the rest of us.

    Think this is a silly topic.
    Players quit all the time at all schools. Nothing new here. Move along.
    (me thinks the author of this thread has a quitter in his/her household)

    I'm also tired of the new trolls posting how they have players on   JV and freshman. parents get over it. If your kid wasn't bumped up this week they won't be so stop with all the griping. They have 2 players in the RB position jaylan and Noah. andrews took Bost spot when he was out. It's not politics so quit with all that crap. Lane has always played football with the juniors,but broke his collar bone last year quit but finally came back towards the end of the season and got bumped up during MCM. Sit down  in the stadium my kid is  the best daddies and hush up your kid will have their turn when it's earned.

    Not the case, you're taking it out of context. Sorry your feelings were hurt. 
    My point was helicopter parents. In this case, multiple moms. Just as many dads as moms have said something on this board, and I'm just as irritated with them. The recent examples just so happened to be female. I couldn't care less if you were a male or female.

    Not chauvinistic - when your screen name says mom on it. It applies to overzealous dads too. Don't push your agenda on me lol!

    I'm so glad there wasn't a message board when I was in HS! If my mother had written anything on this board about my play or lack-there-of, or had criticized my coach - I would've been so embarrassed... 
    The amount of helicopter moms on this site is turning my stomach.

    Wasn't it legacy that asked Mayfield to cut his dreadlocks?
    There are some school districts that won't let young men have hair that touches the collar of their shirt.
    No clue if Ned is one of those or not. I personally can are less about the length of a kids hair or whether or not they have facial hair. Some make bigger deals out of it than it needs to be.

    I think I know why... Ned fans aren't talking trash because we know we are the underdogs. PN-G fans aren't talking trash cause they've lost 6 straight in the series and were favored in at least 3 of those ball games. MCM... anything can happen.
