I agree. It is a tough process with alot of players to go through. I heard they had 30 QBs and 50 RBs turn in applications just for the 8th grade team. We have had kids in the past miss out playing because they ran out of slots. The selection committee do the best they can - all you can do is turn in an application, a highlight video and hope for the best.

I have to agree with BcatBacker. Think we have to also remember there are a lot of talented kids out there that are on teams that did not have a lot of success -- so they did not get the exposure or recognition others got. But when you put them around other talented kids -- like in a tryout -- they shine. That does not take away anything from the other kids who are on teams that had success. But this is a competition to get on the team and the coaches have tough decisions to make. In the end some are going to like the results and some are not. But the kids who do not make it have nothing to be ashamed of. If they have the talent and drive their day will come. Congrats to all who make it and keep your head up to those who did not get selected. In case your wondering my son did not try out so I have no stake in this.
