[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their website only has last year's roster up for varsity and jv.[/quote]

+1.  It lists last year’s roster but their current grade so it looks like no freshman made it. But that isn’t correct. We know multiple boys who were on the JV team when they were freshman.[/quote]

So all the 10s were freshman last year. I assume they took a similar number of freshman this year. Always thought it was easier to make DJO JV than Yorktown. [/quote]

I heard Yorktown JV cuts were brutal this year. So many excellent players.  [/quote]

They have their Final cut today. Varsity was yesterday. [/quote]

I thought I heard Yorktown was having a freshman team this year. Is that not correct?[/quote]

I think you’re confused because for JV this year they called for eighth and ninth graders. It’s not a “freshman” team, it’s the JV team.  [/quote]

8th graders have been able to try out for JV for years. I think this year there were close to 20 of them. 4 were chosen to play JV. Last year there were 3, and the year before 5, I believe. Sophmores - Seniors tryout for V and when the sophmores don't make V they go back to JV tryouts. I don't think any public schools have freshman teams. There is not enough field space. [/quote]

Its more nuanced than that... this year they specifically called for 8th and 9th graders to try out for JV. No Freshman were even considered for Varsity. [/quote]

Same as last year. It's not new. 8th graders have been allowed to try out for JV in any sports that the APS middle schools don't have for years. It's a terrible rule and was made when they didn't have enough kids in high school, but now there are way too many and freshman and sophmores got cut to make way for these freshman. [/quote]

Last year a freshman was considered for V actually, but ended up on JV. That's the difference.[/quote]

There was one freshman on V last year and he did 8th grade twice and is the only sophmore on V this year. Is that who you are thinking of?[/quote]
