You just answered your question. Most MIAA holdback kids and others do want to play for Crabs. Crabs know the majority of holdbacks are coming their way. Easy for them to want youth teams to be grade base instead of age. Not that hard to follow.
Maryland soon to be known as the land of players playing down..
