It should be a combo a cutoff date and grade being rising eigth.Igloo has 6 players from its 2021 Black Ice who are rising 9th.Talk about taking advantage of the rules.
Is that due to MD schools starting Sept 1 and NY schools starting Dec 1 ?? or is it Jan1 ??
9/1 is just an arbitrary date that WSYL picked out of the air. Initially they were following the little league baseball world series which is 5/1, but then they changed it. Soccer uses 1/1 as the date.
