[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in HS you can play 5 years if 1 year is JV? Or is that only for boarding schools?[/quote]

I don't know the PG rules.  I believe it is league by league, and the NE boarding school leagues generally allow PG years.  In the private schools in this area, there is an increasing trend in boys' sports of a player transferring to a new school, and being "reclassified" into a new grade -- e.g. repeating a year.  If the player played JV at the prior year, the league generally lets him play four years of varsity (for example, the 20 year old pitcher for Maret who came from Potomac School).  If he played varsity as a ninth grader, he'd have to sit out a year at the new school (for example, the player on Bullis's team who came from Georgetown Prep, repeated a year at Bullis, and literally "redshirted" like in college by playing no games that year -- don't know if he practiced with the team during his "off year").[/quote]

Thanks for the clarification. The Bullis player had scoliosis surgery (this was reported in WaPo - I don't think it is okay to talk about specific children's medical conditions but it was in the paper) and had to make up the school that he missed. So that would technically be a medical waiver in college - kind of like Rob Pannell at Cornell. [/quote]
