That just sucks. I don't know the full situation, but I'd have a hard time letting that go. I'd demand an explanation as to why students that didn't achieve what your daughter has can make the team ahead of her. The AD answers to somebody, go to them. It sounds like you have connections in the vb scene, I'd be name dropping big time. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Having a reputation as a loudmouth who can't be pushed around isn't always a bad thing....especially if you're right and the truth is on your side. I feel bad for your daughter, those 4 hs years are short and fly by. I remember watching my son's first varsity football start, and in the blink of an eye we were standing on the field with him on parents night for his last game as a senior.
