This is more a vent than anything else. My 06's team has six seniors on it. Our last game of the season, a home game, was scheduled for today. Two days ago, just before the start of the next-to-last game, our coach got word that the team our team was scheduled to play would forfeit today's game and wasn't showing up. This is a league game, the opposing team is very weak (0-fer on the season) and they cancelled/forfeited the other game scheduled against them as well. We are not the only team they've done this to, but we're the only team--as far as I know--that has cancelled both games. So the senior parents at Wednesday's game didn't realize they were watching their kid's last game--probably at all, as our team finished fourth in league and has only a remote shot at an at-large berth in the playoffs. I feel so bad for the seniors and their parents. The boys are playing today anyway, a scrimmage against the JV and we're getting balloons and doing all the stuff we would normally do, but it's just not the same. My kid is only a soph but I'm still furious for the kids and their parents. What's with teams that can't even show up???? Thanks for listening.
