Best wishes to all the players through tryouts and into the season. I hope all players are at least given a fair opportunity to tryout. Grades, character, tools, work ethic, leadership...these are things that a coach should consider. It saddens me when I hear about decisions being made before the season starts. I just saw a HS post their team GPA for the fall semester...they haven't even had tryouts (I know because the state HS athletic associate sets the earliest date that tryouts can be held).
