And the irony is 8th & 9th grade is where the
age based system is needed most. A combination of reclassifying, 9th grade early recruiting, some kids maturing earlier than others, and parents 'gaming' the current system convinced that playing down an age is the way to go....


Yup. On the CONNY site it says the proposal is to move 8th grade back to 3/2001. I hope that's a typo and they meant 3/2002 or you will have 16 year olds playing with 13 year olds!
