Not exactly close. Some Baltimore teams have some one year holdbacks on their roster, can range anywhere from 2 to about 6, on a total roster of about 22-25 players. Hill Academy players are, for the most part 2 years older than Baltimore teams. Most all of their roster have players that are a one year holdback and now are doing a PG year at Hill. So it is not even close to being equal. I would bet some of their players are 20 years old or close to it.


There are more than 6 holdbacks on many Baltimore MIAA teams. There might not be 6 playing as HS seniors instead of Freshman in College, but there are many more holdbacks from 9th thru 11th. If you think otherwise your child must have graduated over 5-10 years ago. The new norm and getting stronger is the amount of kids heldback on teams..
