4. You are simply mad because, after losing to this team, some parents of rival MD clubs are trying to stir the pot, so now you have your "well, THAT'S why we lost" excuse


It's youth sports. It doesn't matter who wins a random tournament. All this ranting just makes you LI parents look like lunatics.


Please - the team has more than 8 holdbacks. Regardless of when the "new" players decided to hold back - they are still hold backs. The newly graduated 8th graders should have at least waited until after the current 7th graders graduated from non-private schools. With respect to #4, all I have read is that the opposite is true - all of the teams they tied or had close games with are pretty proud of themselves for playing kids 1-2 years older and being more than competitive. Keep trying to convince others but Baltimore is a small world and everybody knows the kids and their history. Interesting will be how many of the Beach Lax 2020 Crabs kids can go to Denver.
