Everyone knows that. It is the way things are done in Maryland Private school lacrosse. I also enjoy when Booker or Shriver announcing MIAA game talk about this Freshman or Sophomore knowing full well they should be up a grade.

For every holdback starting on a varsity team as a freshman, there are 8-10 holdbacks on JV whose parents' plan didn't pan out like they thought. Those are the people to avoid on the sideline at all cost if you don't want to hear how the coaches don't know what they are doing.


And that is hitting the nail on the head. For everyone. When it comes to school and only 15 kids seeing field for any real minutes in good games, all the youth club BS drops away. You are left with only 1-3 underclassmen in the action as 25 kids become benchwarmers or ignored on JV. The parents worked the system for 15 years and now their kid is just another number.

Calvert Hall, Loyola, BL..... Career ending schools for a lot of really good lacrosse players that will never see the field.... At least you got to wear the swag for a few years


But the best education around
