This truly is a theoretical question ... I don't coach high school, and my daughter has already completed her college career. But I was reading through the high school attrition thread, and it made me think about something ...
Say you were a high school coach, and you had 24 girls come out for this year's team, 6 from each of the 4 classes. So theoretically, you have enough to field both a varsity and JV team. But in looking at the skills of the girls, you realize that if you took the best 12 players for varsity, that it would clearly be 4 freshmen (including the best 2 pitchers in the program), 4 sophomores, 2 juniors and 2 seniors. What do you do? Do you even have any choice or would the AD/school dictate that you need to field 2 teams? Assume that JV usually plays the same nights as the varsity at different locations, and that the competition for JV would be weak.
