Certainly would make an interesting article in NEWSDAY.
If the school is so prestigious and the kid is so smart and athletic, why hold him back to be a 2019 goalie instead of 2018.

The answer is:

The starting 2018 goalie is a really wonderful player and an academically sound student who will start and play Freshman, JV and Varsity. That being well known because both of the boys played together on the same club team, the decision was made to have this kid reclassify. He too, is great both athletically and academically, however, he will not be noticed because he will not get in the games.

Reclassifing this boy will give him the opportunity to play his Freshman, JV and Varsity years as a 2019.

That being said, both play club ball for the same organization and the HS coach is aware of them both. He now has 2 powerhouses in the cage. Great for the school, great for the goalies.

SAD for the other boys who want to play goalie for Chaminade.

It makes perfect sense when you think about it.
