Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.Voted 29-0 to remove a year of eligibility for anyone who repeats 8th grade! Let that spread from state to state!
Until they do, let’s just keep talking about it.
The article said there are many states considering the same rule . Reclass dads are now running scared .
Sounds like there will be a day of reconning for the cheater parents. But the question remains, what are all of the holdback teams going to do without their holdbacks? They won’t be able to win a single game. Now what?
They will just reclass in 6th and 7th grade.
It’s absolutely hilarious you guys think this has anything to do with the reclass issue in the sport of lacrosse. Broaden your horizons just a bit please. The PIAA is one of the most corrupt and backward thinking organizations in the country. They pick and choose who they want to enforce these transfer penalty rulings on, there is literally no rhyme or reason to who they go after. Some high schools fly under the radar and some get hammered. I’m sure it’ll be the same with this new rule.The proposal came from a board member in District 1 which is basically Phila and the suburbs. I’m sure this started with someone who’s nephew lost their starting spot on one of the Philly Catholic League non boundary basketball schools to some holdback freshman phenom. The top Philly area lacrosse programs are all Interac private schools that push you to reclass. This won’t affect Philly lacrosse one bit.
