Obviously this should have been done a long time ago, hopefully it happens. If they keep HS as grade based with no age verification and youth (8th and below) as strict age based it will bring up some interesting scenarios. Most notably, 9th grade teams will have a glut of players compared to all other age/grade groups. They will get all the 9th graders and they will get all the holdbacks in 8th grade who are not eligible for their age-based team. The holdbacks will then end up spending 2 seasons in the 9th grade HS "age group".
