The Crabs get better every year because they are not sentimental during tryouts. I've seen Crab team that change the roster 50%+ from one season to the next (and no, those are not all kids who've reclassed).

The Crabs 2014 team went undefeated during their HS club careers, but lost games with different rosters during the MS years. Several of them were not on the team then.

You'll see a different Crabs team in the fall (and no, it will not be just because of kids who've reclassed).

Congratulations on your Super Bowl win. You were the better team today.



Despite your parenthetical denials, the majority of Crabs teams do become made up of primarily holdback kids with the majority moving at end of 8th grade. The team and their MiAA schools encourage it. It will catch up with them as more and more tourneys go combo age and grade like Denver did. Then the Crabs historical advantage will be over. In the mean time, everyone knows their game and don't really see them as champions or view them with respect.


Incorrect. Look at Crabs 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, for example. The majority of those are not holdbacks. Not even close.
