JCMS first mistake was giving the job to who they did. Secondly, they lost a couple kids from the system because of the cutting, who are much better players than some left on the team. Third, I dont care if I had to put them in shorts and t-shirts and play each other every day of the week, I wouldnt have cut ANY kid from a MS team. Football is the only sport being done right at JCMS at the moment.
PS...you do know they were beaten last week by a team that they mercied probably every time they had played them since MS baseball was started, lots of times with the other school's JV players?

I am quite aware of the loss, this team is mostly 7th graders playing, with a few 6 graders also. JCMS had five 8th grade starters move up to JV and they are not playing any games at the middle school level this year.

I agree that you can't tell a child's future ability at this level but is keeping all kids that tryout the solution, I can't imagine trying to coach 45 or 50 kids or more and have them learn or improve much. The kids that did'nt make the team still have a great option, like the Babe Ruth league. They can still play ball and keep improving, I am sure that league would love to throw a t shirt and shorts on some kids!
