| What, McLean did that again this year? |
The 8th grade team ought to be undefeated. They have a couple kids that reclassed twice and a kid from DC on the team. They are adding that to a team that was already probably the most talented for the grade. |
McLean tends to attract top talent. They’ve definitely gone undefeated before. You are allowed 2 kids from outside zip codes, so a kid from DC should be no problem. |
I believe you are allowed 2 kids from outside zip codes, but a resident of Fairfax County, not DC. |
Should be undefeated if you have multiple kids who reclassed and some of them reclassed twice. |
Where is all this talent by the time they get to high school. Haven’t heard of McLean or Langley winning any state or even district champs. Haven’t heard of either being ranked in the state, Washington area, or even amongst the top Northern Virginia teams. And don’t see this changing by the time these kids become seniors high and even beyond. If you feel good about cheating or bending the rules to win County, more power to you. |
They mostly go to private schools? |
| There are AAU roster-dominant county teams on the girls side, too, this is nothing new, folks. |
Well their best players live in areas that aren’t zoned for either of these schools. |
8th Grade Girls is AAU roster dominant across all divisions. |
|
If I knew a kid from DC was playing in this league, I would email the commissioner. A kid on a team in McLean must RESIDE in FAIRFAX COUNTY. End of story.
"Reclassed twice"? Means they flunked two grades? This is a grade-based league. School systems don't fail kids like they used to. |
Its fine as long as they only have two zip code exceptions and all the kids live in the designated county. |
Last year's extremely sketchy undefeated 8th grade boys team from McLean had kids who are now going to a million different high schools. Its the division 2 Mclean teams that are almost all Langley/McLean kids. |
| How do you reclass twice in a grade-based league? Honestly curious. |
They don’t check zip codes anymore. |
