Recapping...
1. "Severn doesn't play the holdback game"
2. Yes, actually they do, their team captain is a holdback
3. OK, that is true. But he's a really good kid and it worked out great for him.
Prediction for Severn 2018: Regression to the Mean.
Some more holdbacks would definitely help the Admirals.
Silly not to play the game in MD... Especially in the MIAA "A" .. The league where most top teams usually have over 50% of their starters that are college Freshman....I mean 12th graders that are heldback.
Agreed with all. Would take an entire culture shift from the top down.
Just don't see it happening.
I was at the Boys Latin Championship game a few years ago. Talking to a few parents from BL about the team. This was prior to youth Lacrosse going grade but MIAA schools were loaded with prefirsts/holdbacks. Parent told me that only one player out there for BL shouldnt be a college Freshman right now.
Most people in Balt didnt care, nor aware of this as youth was age and MIAA only played against each other and other schools like them. Plus it was HS.
Apparently these players growing up didn't have any issue with youth being by age. As that is how they all played in their youth. Once they got to HS they played by grade.
