What next? An 8th grad football team wont be allowed to compete in their league because two of the kids run the 100 in 10.3, A basketball team is kicked out because a kid hits 85% of his free throws....damn
Exactly. As a player when I was a kid, you didn't think anybody was that good or that much better than you, and if they had a "reputation" you always wanted to play against them, to beat them. As a coach, I carried that philosophy with my teams and even when we moved up in age bracket (2 year groupings) and had to play against teams older than us...we really enjoyed it when we beat some of them. I guess when we were the old group at age 14, that's what helped us win the Michigan Pony baseball state championship. Tough competition. It's what makes you better.
