Re: Freshman on Drive team
I can only think of one time in 3467's 5 year history where both drivers were in the same grade which was 2013 (Juniors). Unless your team has a strong program for training new drivers which includes some off-season event(s) along with hours and hours of in shop drive practice with realistic circumstances keeping some experienced students down on the field can be a good thing.

Never let age get in the way of putting your best individual on the drive team and never let it be a permanent position from year to year. Nothing can hold back a team more than guaranteeing a position on the field just because of their position or age on the team.
