That has been going on for a while. Those schools were established as boarding schools years ago for the purpose of attracting out of town students and being a boarding school. My guess is they get some locals, but mainly boarders. They all play in a league of mostly boarding schools etc. This operation going on in Bmore is the next phase of one-upping your competition on the athletic side only. First it was holdbacks, then borderline double holdbacks, now lets go after D1 committed seniors as well as underclassmen to reload and have them board. Winning this way is probably not real gratifying, but nonetheless job security for those coaches.... No student is attending the BL or McD boarding operation for academics only. BL/McD/CHC should look for some other boarding schools to form their own league like the Founders league in the northeast. How many BL alumni are getting pissed off...

Believe it or not, I’m Pretty sure Mcdonogh had lots of fun winning the championship last spring.

Fun-for sure. The players are enjoying the sport they have played for a long time representing their school. Satisfaction beating teams with a borderline double holdback, and this upcoming season having D1 commits transfer as seniors from out of league, whatever makes you tick. Beating teams in the league throughout the season that have absolutely no chance of beating you because of the the way things are structured, not so sure about that satisfaction thing. Its great for all of these boys to play in the MIAA-A conference. It makes them better for it. The followers of the sport just need to keep everything in perspective when it comes to the final standings each year and how we got to that place. We have 4 cylinder cars and 8 cylinder cars in the same league. The 8 cylinders push the envelope right to the edge through various tactics that other don't use....Just the facts
