[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the rationalization on the "hold back." That doesn't square with Jesuit teaching, but if it works for you and the others, I guess that is all that matters. You can call it being a  "sore loser," too. Again, if you are willing to bend the rules to get the older players on your teams, it is always about winning. That goes for Landon or Prep. Anyone that dares to cry "foul" is a sore loser. Yep, I would expect nothing less than that approach. Where is the Jesuit introspection on "the ends justify the means" philosophy that is in place at Prep? Glad to be a "loser" that supports teams doing it the right way. Ultimately, the kids are the losers when they actually have to compete on an even playing field -- they will not be prepared. For example, look how Prep bailed out of the MIAA when it couldn't be a top contender. Look how Prep "ignored" the size limitations of the IAC. Yep, I am a sore loser that just wants the playing field level. Then, we can see how things stack up. Sadly, I don't think Prep will voluntarily play by those guidelines. [/quote]

I am neither Lsndon nor GP parent. But I wonder about those so upset that MD redshirts 1/2 their kids. So 30 8th graders out of 60 are redshirted. Half go to GP, half go to Gonzaga. A sprinkling go other places. So at most each year 15 kids at GP and Gonzaga are 1yr older. So <1% of the population at Gonzaga and about 1%  at GP are MD redshirt players.

This is what everybody is upset about? What am I missing?[/quote]
