My opinion is you can get hurt just crawling out of bed.
I also feel that there will be regrets later in their lives that they didn't live their lives to the fullest and do all that they could have in high school.

Different program more competition and not sure what will happen. Just my opinion. I would love to see all them kids out I really think they would have a very good team. That was the purpose of the EEK Coop

I believe that there used to be a lot more kids that played and went out for the team, knowing they were probably not good enough to start, but they still went out for the sport, because their friends played and they wanted to be a part of something. A majority of these kids still put in a quality effort, and are quality backups, and make the team better overall because you have more numbers to work with, more competition, and it would allow you to do more drills in practice that you might not be able to do with less players. I don't believe that just "being on the team" is as important to some these days.

They all got really nice scholarships to their perspective schools, one a full ride the others respectable amounts. The really, really funny thing about the whole thing was in between 65-80% of the money given was for ACADEMICS..! Go figure huh? Kids......play all the sports and extra activities you possibly can when you are in school, but make dang sure that you concentrate on your grades cause in the long run that is what is going to take you through life.
