I am not going to argue numbers, but there was not 42 kids on the Willow team this past week in Mtn View.
It is a sad situation and one that I do not see being a one year wonder. But I guess time will tell.

their JV is also getting boatraced. so not sure playing a jv only schedule would have helped them much. what the team needs is numbers. getting the same 11 guys pounded on both sides is killing the numbers even worst. there is no reason every single willow player isnt playing. when we were there 2 weeks ago I seen several players that barely got any time. and they werent little puny kids who would have been killed. I’m gonna assume most of the kids on their varsity should actually be playing JV but since they play varsity they won’t play JV. Does losing 60-0 every week really help you grow? The problem is numbers but getting boat raced in almost every game for several years doesn’t help numbers. These kids need some confidence and something to believe in. I feel like a JV only schedule would help the young guys develop better and gain confidence. Two years of a JV only schedule and then move back to Varsity. Getting trucked by other teams JV builds confidence? Even when playing some varsity players on the JV and still no success will grow numbers? To me if they played a JV only schedule and got hammered all that would prove to those players is they might as well quit because if all the SCA JV are a lot better than us is there any hope? At least getting beat by a varsity squad gives the illusion that there might be a light at the end of the tunnel if you endure the hardships.
