Wow. You come up with that on you own? Funny how quickly folks forget how good Crabs was when they were age based. You're delusional if you think that Crabs couldn't compete if the rules were changed
. When it was age based Crabs did not dominate in any way. They were just an average good team, just like many others. Once it went grade base Ryan McClernan saw an opening to game the system and he was off and running. The team he coaches, 2020 is comical to look at. I don't know who he thinks he is fooling, the team is loaded with holdbacks. I'm sure you will agree that was not the intent or spirit of grade base lacrosse.
Then how did 91 Crush beat them so bad in the WSYL?
Are you serious? When Crabs had tryouts, the team was built by graduation year. They took the top 23 kids in 7th grade at that point. There were many very good on age 7th graders that were cut from Crabs 2020. This was done with no regard to the kids' age because they play in a grade based league and grade based tournaments. When the WSYL came up, Crabs was asked to participate so they did. There was an age cutoff for the tournament so there were some very good kids on the 2020 team that were ineligible to play.
My point is, if Crabs had tryouts for a team with a 5/1 cutoff, a lot of those top 7th graders that were cut would have been on the team. Instead, Crabs went to WSYL without some of the top kids on their team.
It's really not that hard to understand. Not sure why the obsession with Crabs.
