Lambert, know what you mean. This is not just a sport issue but a social one as well. Seems that everyone wants a free ride, and they want their kids to play and get a uniform whether they deserve it or not. On the other hand I hate to think that coaches and administrators worry more about playing someone who is someone instead of a poor kid who has worked his tail off and in actuality deserves the playing time. Sad world aint it

You need to spend some time with the coaching staff and the players and then you'd see that the kids who show up every morning of summer break, every snow day, every day to lift weights (not just be there but actually work out) are playing regardless of income. I know for a fact that Coach Howard goes above and beyond to make every player feel equal if they show him a little heart and desire to play. I guarantee if he "worked his tail off", he's playing.
