Divisional Round Picks - Where Do the Packers Fit?

If high school is about finding where you fit in, high school sports are even moreso. That was my experience at least.

Our basketball program broke down into three levels: freshman, junior varsity, and varsity. Coming in as a freshman, I vividly remember how big and skilled the varsity players seemed. Their games were so fast and physical compared to ours.

But the JV squad was different. Even early in my freshman season, I could see where I stacked up against the sophomores on the junior varsity team, and results seemed promising. Soon, I got the bump to junior varsity, and even though it was more competitive, it was manageable. 

Varsity was the goal, though. Varsity got the big crowds. Varsity games were covered in the paper. Heck, varsity games counted — nobody cares about JV standings!
