I don’t think the Catholics have that many holdbacks. Certainly nothing like MD teams. I know of several kids that start for both Chaminade and St A’s and none of them are holdbacks. I do know of some, though. How many in each? A handful, tops? MD teams are made up of purely holdbacks. No on age at all. Compared to them, the LI Catholics are “youngn’s”.
Probably because it is much harder on LI to figure out the 2 year holdback game. Or, there would probably be a lot more. Can’t stay back very easily in public elementary schools on LI. Some families know how to start the game very young and do it in the younger years. Get a leg up on the advantage very early .
