They were losing so many of the holdbacks had to come in and "rescue" the team and win.Many of the regular crabs parents were pissed because their child who played all during the year didnt play much in this tournament.


Those "regular crabs" parents will be even more pissed when their kids don't have a spot next year or are offered a spot on the 2021 team after certain academic arrangements are made.

Hello...team 91 Maryland, when are those tryouts?


Yes, this is about a business. Crabs owner needs to show that his team is dominant and not another, especially 91- as business could be changing with 91 coming. As for the kids- just look at the picture on their web site- the obvious age appropriate kids are front row, about 2 feet shorter than the back row and a bunch of them don't even look like they wore a helmet that day. They are all straight faced. Why would you smile when your coach barely played you. That is the sad part- the kids that belonged to the team for the whole year. The ones that were at the try outs and made the team to play this summer. These are the kids that now feel the wrath of the system of playing down. The writing is on the wall, they either play with younger kids themselves or go to another club. I could care less if these teams win or lose, it's just sad for the kids to lose their spots that they earned and sad for the other teams to lose that dont bring on kids to play down. Might not be breaking any rules, but it sure is pathetic. If you can't stand out, play down and make money for a grown up.
