I agree.
I am a Valley fan and I completely agree that the purpose of JV games are to try to develop your younger talent to be ready to step into the Varsity level team.
I must also say, any time you have a game, the spirit of competition is there and we all want to win. I just hope that in these games, kids can improve and develop and hopefully stay clear of injuries.

Actually this being the third time they have played. I have seen vast improvement in both teams since the start of the year.

I was going to try to stay out of this thread as last night I was a "lil" bit ticked off.... NOT at the kids let me say that first and foremost as they are just that... KIDS!

What gets to me is WHY (even on short notice) would you let one of the referee's on the field who is supposed to be calling a game enter the huddle of SV everytime a time out is called? NOT the coach, I know who he is but the "other" one that was on the field in regular clothing. As I stated before, by not calling a game as you see it and let things go you cause two different things to happen. ONE, you cause a ton of animosity amongst the young men and things start to happen that should not be going on, on the field. TWO, you are teaching these young men nothing! Why even bother putting them on the field if your gonna play "backyard" football? Make the rules up as you go, throw a flag on a whim, or make it so darn obvious Ray Charles could see it? ...........
All I'm saying is if you are going to have someone on the field to administer ground rules of the game, ensure they are followed, and take control when needed, find some that will actually do that! Last nights game was again a joke!!! hh:

OH, and just for the sake of those who will want to argue, when Belfry played SV @ Belfry..... Belfry had more penalty yards than SV so I'd say they got a fair shake there as well!!!
