Posting DOB on the rosters like they did last year would demonstrate what a joke the grade based classification actually is - clearly that's why they stopped doing it. The Baltimore team's leading scorers are all reclassed. 10th and 11th graders pretending to be 9th graders.
Life doesn't go by the birthday buddy system. Education has evolved, not yours apparently. High School is by grade, not by age. Are you going to carry your stupid argument to college, men's league, grandpa league, and retirement home shuffleboard?
HS is by grade. But apologists like you never seem to respond to what he actually wrote. He is correct. The rising 9th grade Balt team could be a age wise 10th grade team. While the majority of the other teams are not able to do that.
And the stopping of age by player is a clear indication that many dont want it to be known. If it is no big deal why do they leave that information off??
Baltimore is correct in playing as rising 9th graders and are within the rules. And if it was a few overage players, dont think many would say a word. But it seems like the entire Baltimore team is a year older than the teams the are playing,,,,,Well the rest of us get to remark about how we feel when there is that much a difference between teams when playing by grade.
Wonder if Duke got their Freshman class and played any top HS senior team what would be said.. It is only 1 year difference...shouldnt matter.
