Mercy rule

Last night Two Rivers traveled to Charleston in football. Charleston is #1 in the state with D1 talent on the roster. Two Rivers has 14 players on the roster. They started mercy rule before the first quarter was over, obviously by common consent of the coaches since that usually does not start until the second half. Now, basketball is a different situation. The bench will be chock full when Two Rivers comes to town, and they are usually pretty good.

I feel for Two Rivers, because my son-in-law faced a similar situation in his first three years at Magazine. . His first year (2010) they were 0-10. In three years they won five games. It was a very discouraging period. Of course, he hung in there and eventually some talent came up through the system and in 2010 the Rattlers were undefeated State Champs.
