[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The St James is a private company and if a team did not get enough players, they often combine teams.  Many public schools bring it 8th graders as well.  If you are upset by this, you have a long road ahead in this sport.  [/quote]

If you don’t know or understand it is best to just stay quiet. This is a team of middle school girls he has recruited to play at OLGC next year. They are playing in a varsity division being coached by the varsity coach it is not the case where they have guest players. Point is other leagues don’t allow this contact why does the WCAC? Personally I don’t see it being good for the conference at all. [/quote]

Not an OLGC booster.  In the WCAC, looking up at the program that MH has built like everyone else.

That said, I don't see the issue.  Having 8th graders playing with one or more of the 4 OLGC teams in The St. James Winter League is a smart idea when trying to recruit good players into the program.  These are not commits; they can still go elsewhere when they get admissions decisions later this Spring.  Fact is, WCAC rules apply to all schools in the conference and other programs could do the same.  OLGC just playing the game harder and the results are commensurate with that effort.  Talk to your coach or AD about getting in to the fray.  No need to complain about a program outworking yours.

I don't hear Stone Ridge complaining.  A lot of the folks not the ISL/WCAC thread think that Stone Ridge will overtake them as the top team in the DC metro area this year. [/quote]

They will.  SR already has an impressive middle school pipeline.  There should be a battle of unsanctioned OLGC vs SR middle school teams.  Live stream it, ppv of course.  [/quote]
