Go read up on the article about the Mater Dei basketball player who scored on a dunk in their first game last year. This is in no way a Crabs only issue. Of course, dems da rules though...grade based teams at the youth levels. Grade based teams are best for school teams. It just invited the worst out of club lacrosse and bringing the worst out of lacrosse is always the easy thing to get done.


Are more and more kids reclassifying? Yes? Is Mater Dei famous for making/allowing kids to reclassify? Yes.

Is "nearly all of them" accurate in terms of private school Montgomery County kids who reclassify? No. Not even close.
