I got the sarcasm, and appreciate it! Yea, he didn't get to play as much as the 7th grader did but he was decent. Can you blame him for leaving? By the time he is a JV player, he will be replaced by someone who moves to Folsom to play for the Bulldogs. I think it's likely kids will move to Oak Ridge and Vista rather than stay in that system, which will put even more pressure on Folsom High School coaching staff to "attract" players from neighboring communities.....and Reno!
Its already happening to some degree. I do not however think it will make a damn bit of difference to Folsom. Very talented kids will still go to Folsom. The program is all about competition. You compete well, you play a lot. You don't compete well, you sit. Pure meritocracy. Kids have to be very confident, thick skinned and determined as hell. Or they will transfer or decide to stop playing. The survivors are pretty good.
