quote:I guess we can count our situation as a blessing in disguise. A local coach of a well respected travel team who is also a scout was at my son's HS tryouts and couldn't believe he was cut while others were kept. Without a tryout since he has already seen him in action more than once my son is on a great summer team. He is 16 years old with half the team already playing for colleges on scholarship with many past players currently playing in the majors. Many great tournaments with heavy college coach and MLB scouting attendance is on the books. Thank goodness because our school's varsity team is already 1-3 with very ugly losses and the only win by a small margin against one of the worst teams in our division. I feel really bad for the players on the team having to weather this record but feel my son is lucky not to be a part of it this year. Maybe good things do happen to good kids after all!
Well.......by playing on this super duper awesome team in the summer your son will either prove the coach wrong or he will justify the decision.
