Carol,
I am so sad for you and your grandson. I see this happen ALL THE TIME. I grew up in a small town surrounded by small towns I hear this all too often, how it seems noone lets kids make the team or not. Its like they all have to make it or none of them do. It just unfair, people are not created equally, some work harder than others, some are naturally blessed with more talent in certain areas than others... whatever the case, life is full of disappointments. Teaching kids that at a HS level will help them adjust to LIFE better as they grow up. You won't always make the team, get the job, get the girl/boy... each thing you do in life you need to earn it. You grandson earned this and I pray that the school sees that and lets him stay on the team. To those parents who kids did not make the team this year, they just need to practice more OR look for their area that they are strong in. Everyone has one!
