Reserve Roles

Depth matters. Illness and injuries happen as surely as night follows day. As mentioned before, depth adds 'anti-fragility'. 

Sport regales players who came off the bench in reserve roles to help lead teams to success. Earl Morrall helped the Dolphins win a Super Bowl filling in at quarterback for Bob Griese. In his second NBA Hall of Fame induction as a coach, Tommy Heinsohn noted Henry Finkel's contribution against Kareem Jabbar.  

With Sofia Papatsoris out, numerous players got 'extra time' in prime time versus Wakefield to contribute. Manon Marchais, while not a reserve, excelled in the middle. Abby Dennison got more time and Ava Perrotti had key moments with a pair of kills and three serve receives. Emme Boyer got valuable experience. 

Teams succeed when players perform in the moment.
