No they are on the 2021 koopers team.
If Petro's sons were playing as guest players for Crabs 2022 team then they were playing down. Both sons play for Koopers 2021.
Both boys have been playing up for years now. They are 7th grade students. The Koopers 2021 team, which originated some years ago with a core group that played at MLC were combined with kids from the now defunct Fearless club to form a 2021 team. By my count, I believe that 5-6 Koopers 2021 kids are enrolled in the 7th grade with the remainder 8th graders. It is an interesting team and well coached. They are 2022's and as "guests" were playing at an age/grade appropriate level. They are prodigies -- that can play against ever greater/older competition and very effectively. It was fun watching them compete at Young Guns this weekend.
That's great if they've been playing up with 2021's for several years. After watching that Crabs/Edge game, that may have been grade appropriate but it was certainly not age appropriate. The majority of those kids were obviously 14 if not older. It was like watching a JV game. Great lacrosse, but please don't act like those kids were age appropriate. The same is true for that Edge team and the Hawks. Older kids playing rising 8th grade lax. That's the truth.
And yes, I understand it's a grade based tournament.
