There are none playing games with the high school team.

That was proven demonstrably false in the OLGC game - there were at least two kids in the game who have played four years of high school football. I am not going to name names of kids on an anonymous forum, but I do know that the VHSL has those names in hand.

It’s highly unlikely that the St. James participates in VHSL. Thus, not restricted on player eligibility, practice dates, recruiting, etc.

Well the WCAC kids usually do okay in life.

Yes, because they receive a good education at their WCAC schools. Do try and keep up.

Yes, they are taught how to use cheating as an advantage.

Your parents failed you simply by not aborting you. I genuinely am sorry.

Are you alleging that Saint James had 2 kids that reclassed in high school? The WCAC doesn’t, but other privates let kids reclass in high school. I can name plenty of private schools in Virginia that have kids that have played more than 4 years of sports.

I don’t think the kids really have much of an advantage for doing this. The WCAC kids just reclass one or two times before high school. People are always saying Mater Dei are driving to middle school.

Even though you may have reported Saint James to the Virginia High School League, you haven’t found any violation for them to address.

I am the OP. Also, I didn't report them, but I know some who did. That said, there are kids on that team on their second senior year. You want to call it reclassing, fine. I call it cheating. Reclassing before HS I am fine with, but once you are in, it's shady. And what reputable VA schools have kids on their HS (not post grad) rosters who played more than four years of HS sports outside of those who were granted waivers to play varsity in 8th grade?

Benedictine, Woodberry Forest, Blue Ridge, Highland, Bethel, Evergreen Christian, etc. all these schools allow kids to reclass after the 9th grade. The IAC allows this too. This would give a kid more than 4 years playing their sport.

Whether a kid does it before, during, or after high school is just a formality. The kid is still older and more mature in the end. The only way to even the playing field is to close the age gap and to prevent kids from playing against kids more than 5 years apart.

The purposely reclassification causes the above problem in sports. Maybe each state could ban the kids who are too old because of a redshirt/reclassification and create some separate league for the old kids from a particular region. The league could even be nation wide. But it’s really not fair for kids who focus on academics, but also like to sports to have to play against older kids that also have trained most of their days for years and reclassify twice and I’ve even heard 3 times just to get an advantage in sports.

It’s all cheating.

I mean, in hockey it's standard practice for all kids to do a 5th year of high school, most at elite New England boarding schools like Andover, Deerfield, etc.

I am talking like 90% of all college hockey players have gone this route.

I don't know how or why it became the standard for hockey, but it is.

Some do, sure. The ones who go to a fake online school for 90-120 minutes a day generally do not.

No WCAC kids do that.
