The guys still on the Junior Varsity team as Juniors rarely made it on Varsity as Seniors. Or at least that's how it worked at my kid's high school. If you had any talent at all, you were elevated to Varsity in your Junior year of high school or, rarely, right at the start of Senior year. All those less talented Junior Varsity (JV) kids ended up not playing at all in their Senior year, having graduated out of JV but not picked up by Varsity. So I could just see the high school football coach telling those hapless Juniors in JV who hadn't yet been picked up for Varsity, "lots of luck in your Senior year."
