[quote=Anonymous]Claiming development of a hold back/older kid is easy but not realistic. My son plays for batlimore club and my older son goes to McDonogh. These posters have no clue as these younger kids will catch up as the older kids have some reached or almost reached the talent ceiling. Seen this many times with 3 boys. Btw- is the hawks a fielder for st Mary's? McDonogh beat the pants off them 2 times this year so looks like the hold backs are not really being developed. Fools gold. Keep bringing in out of state kids to play and taking time from local players. Btw. Spalding has a lot of hawks players too. Wow. You buried yourself on this one. RIP poster. You been sentenced to stupidity

Stupidity is this statement! Funny you use this poster to bash Saint Marys,Spalding and Hawks. It is for certain that McDonogh and Baltimore clubs promote holdbacks and have the most in the country. McDonogh also recruits kids from all over the country and board them. Spalding and St Marys have the least amount as any school in the MIAA which is why they have struggled in that league. Oh wait just 3 years ago St Marys spanked Mcdonough for the league title with not 1 single holdback.
Sounds like bitterness towards the Hawks,
Hawks also play for almost every MIAA school this year.
Check the coaching staffs for every Hawks team and compare to all other clubs. 6 Hawks teams made it to Championship day in the HOCO league.
The only smart thing said is that boys always catch up __ Everything else is pure stupidity.
