Are we talking about favoritism or strategy? They are completely different topics.

EVERY player is important to the team. If a player is willing to walk away from a sport over playing time than they couldn't have been very passionate about it in the first place.

I agree with Reality Check. By the time you are at the Peewee/Bantam level most kids are fully aware of what their role is on the team. Most kids want to WIN above all else. Players improve in practice and in the off season- not in a game.

Let's see how Chaska does within it's own district. They had a very close game with Eastview and a big loss to Shakopee. If Chaska is a "defensive" team and cannot shut down average to below average teams there is no way they will go beyond district play.

Is it true that Shakopee beat Chaska 6-3? If so, I don't think Chaska should be in the top 20.
