What I mean by this is if the player in question would be a 1 person team. I do not agree with playing your varsity starters in a strictly JV tournament, that totally defeats the purpose of the JV which is to improve those players not seeing varsity time, to one day be able to contribute to a varsity squad. Just my two cents.
I disagree. If you have a player who is ready to contribute they should be allowed to play varsity. Take for example Kelly Roysland and Taylor Hill both were players in MN. Roysland was all-conference 6 times and Hill lead the state in scoring as an 8th grader. Imagine now if you were their coach and you couldn't have them on your team because your school had a rule that JH kids couldn't play varsity. The HS where I work has rule that for a JH player to be on varsity they must receive significant playing time.
