I spoke with a Hawks parent last week and didn’t realize that picked up some outside legit talent. I guess they are the favorites again for HOCO.
I also spoke with a parent who said the best attackman on the hawks is a double holdback. Any truth to this? Where did the outside talent come from?
We’ll find out in early March. Takes about 2 minutes to know which kids were playing for 2027 last year. Clearly the oldest team in the DMV, seems like half the kids are reclassed. Not holdbacks, let’s delineate between the two. Reclassed is when they repeat a grade. holdback is when they’re pre K and rather than starting them at a very young age, they hold them back before they ever start school. And yes, there IS a big difference in INTENT.
Either way, I’m fine with it. My kid is March 2010, so he’s clearly on the younger side— I like him playing against great competition, whether a year older or not. Including the mighty Hawks. They’re a fantastic opponent, and make my kid better.
