Every high school athlete I knew wanted to start. But I haven’t know any who went on to a professional career in sports. Their #1 reason for being there was to be with friends on the team/squad. And I believe they wanted the team/squad to win more than a starting position.
So, unless bestie is counting on a college scholarship for her playing she can accept Hollis taking her place (she’ll grumble but accept it for the good of the team). But if bestie was counting on the scholarship, the fact she lost it to a newcomer at the position says she wasn’t going to be getting one.
