First, as long as schools like BL, McD, CH make it an arms race and bring in kids, house kids, etc, there is nothing special about the formula. Anyone that wants to stretch the rules or throw money at it can win in the league. Nostalgia has no value.
Second, bad mouthing kids anonymously on the internet is classless garbage, that is an objective fact. Coaches or dads, Ok, it’s the Internet. Going after kids should be beneath anyone that pretends to represent the secret society of rich catholic schools or whatever pretentious babble you are throwing out.

These kids are 17, 18, and 19 years old...

And the Baltimore schools are doing what they have to in order to stay competitive with IMG, Culver, Deerfeild, Hill, etc. who import the best in the country and house them.

Get better or get worse. If you want to complain about getting better, competing, and fighting to be the best, then your weakness speaks for itself and the way you raise your kids. No-one starts in the same place. Thats life. Its not fair. Respect is earned and in sports, so is success.

Exactly...and that is the best reason to hold your child back and let him play against younger children in youth...let them learn a lesson so HS will be a much easier ride.
