You are wrong!

Yes, they absolutely have taken these student/athletes. So have the other privates/catholics.
It is a shamefully encouraged by the parents and club coaches.
The trick is to repeat an 8th grade year at a private then enter as a freshman in a catholic.

As to an earlier post--- Yes, the kids in these schools know who the holdbacks are. Especially the kids one year ahead of them. Many played with or against the holdbacks when they were playing CYO hoops/ baseball, Pop warner football, or PAL Lax on appropriate grade levels.

Cheating is cheating. I wish the schools had standards and the parents had ethics.
