Gloat all you want 2018 parents. Our committed 2017 boys are all gone now, either on the Turtles or soon to be playing on the LIE committed team. You are entering freshmen tourney fall season and will be playing all the teams that now have grade hold backs. Let us know how you do by December. Enjoy the ride. It was a fun day to play with great coaches fully involved, and all the players know each other and train hard always. It's all about getting better to showcase our boys, not who won a prep scrimmage. Think big picture.
You are wrong about the timing of holdbacks. Most teams that have them, their kids did it by repeating 8th grade at private before going into HS. It is the preferred method in MD...they cant take 9th grade classes twice without it going on their transcripts. As such, 8th grade is the repeated grade.
But thanks for the warning...
