Crabs players causing issues on HS teams in Md...King Crab forcing kids to miss HS tournaments in the fall to play for Crabs or face expulsion from the program..."Come pay for my tournament instead of playing with your HS team". Bottom line, it's all about McClernan and Crabs, not the kids
Nothing new..always has been,,,Just now he has more sway..
It would be great if the MIAA schools would come to their senses and have their teams enter 2 tournaments in the fall and 2-3 in the summer and try and cut out the club scene at the HS school years altogether. If the limit it to 2-3 tournaments for the fall and summer, then it would still provide the kids an opportunity to take the money they would have spent on clubs and invest that into a showcase or two and maybe the UA tryouts. And if the coaches were smart, they could even team up and merge a couple schools for those events and have strong teams at the fresh/soph, JV and Varsity level for the tournaments they enter. Just seems that the HS coaches could do a lot to help cut out some of the stress for the families and use it as a away to prepare in the off season. But I am sure that the egos of men would get in the way and most of the parents wouldn't have the balls to trust a process like that because they have been fed the club medicine for years.

Those would make for some pretty good teams to compete in tournaments together.
