Perhaps some of you will recall my predication that I would lose players for various reasons. Well, one is already out due to grades; what I didn’t expect was that a new kid would move to the area and his teachers would tell him he could still try out even though he missed all 4 days of tryouts (something I never, EVER, would have even dreamed of thinking about possibly thinking about allowing: it violates all that’s good in the world). In any case, the kid was promised a tryout, so I’ll give him one so that he’ll learn he can trust the word of adults, even though he really can’t.
