I can understand a small child from a dirt village not knowing his age -

A person who is 6’9” is going to dominate high school basketball no matter how old he is unless he’s physically disabled.

I went to my nephew’s track meet Tuesday. There was a guy there who was 6-foot-plus and all muscle, looked like an ad for Bodybuilder.com. I thought he was a coach, until I saw him in one of the races.

There is no way anyone is going to convince me that a middle-schooler looks like that. Not unless there’s steroids involved.

He just identifies as a 17 year old boy.

Ageist! /s

Well, what's the problem if he feels like and identifies as a 17 year old?

He may be trans-ageual.

I would believe it but if there were several on the same team it would make me question what is going on.

My story was back in 72. There was the tall guy and then we had 2 others that were built as well both being around 5-10 to 6 foot. On them was super hairy. Last time I seen him he was 30 and completely bald.

That dude’s so black, he’s almost purple.

LOL! Reminds me of a quote from the movie "Space Jam"

In the scene, Bill Murray's playing golf with Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. Murray wants to know if he's got a shot at playing in the NBA.

Jordan says no way.

Murray: It's 'cause I'm white, isn't it?
Michael: No. Larry's white. So what?
Murray: Larry's not white. Larry's clear.

Don't get excited.

Opened in October 1929, Kennedy Collegiate was named after the Honourable William Costello Kennedy, a Windsor (Ontario) politician who had served as Minister of Roads and Canals.

No always so. Dad could have motivated him to work hard in the weight room as soon as puberty started kicking in. That plus proper nutrition and rest could put him years up on his contemporaries.

Kennedy is a fairly common Irish name, and many Irish immigrated to Canada in the past.

When I attended high school in Houston our team played against another team from a black high school across town named Kashmere Gardens. Those black guys had beards and must have all been held back 2 or 3 years due to poor grades and so they looked more suitable to play for the Green Bay Packers than a HS team. It was a very uneven contest every year.
