This right here is everything that is wrong with Maryland youth lacrosse. The only sport where cheating is widely accepted and expected. Clearly all the other teams who play kids of age and don't hold back grades in school are inferior. Hard to believe but there are still teams out there with integrity, and zero holdbacks ever.

I dislike holdbacks as much as the next guy (my son lost his starting spot to one), but it's not cheating since it's a grade based system. Also, the notion that there are no holdbacks in LI is just false. It may not be as prevalent, but they definitely exist.
