You may be mistaken on this point. At least one of the Thompson phenoms is 23 years old. While age may not be the determining factor in his success, clearly, it does not seem to hurt him.
Interesting point - the Thompsons don't strike me as being rich prep school types and yet there must be a hold back/repeat somewhere along the line
So only the Long Island families play by the rules. Of course they are also the ones that complain the most at every game about how bad the refs are so they must know the rules better than everyone else
