Meanwhile some kid that hits .500 in 4A Farmersville may have no chance to play beyond HS. Try explaining that to Farmersville Dad.

Sure, but if Farmersville wins the state 4A championship, doesn't that still matter? It's not all about the next level.

It seems Adbono's point is that hs coaches are trying to play as many kids as possible, instead of trying to win, so that is a reason for having POs in high school? Our coaches did not do that - they played players that they thought would produce, wherever that was. There was usually a DH, but it was usually NOT for the pitcher (since he was a good hitter), but for whichever position player was hitting the worst.
