I think the championship truly showed that a few months really matter around this age.

Also, although I coach 9/1 legal 2021 team (like Igloo), the reality is that I understand that 5/1 is not a bad breakpoint for what was/is normal for private school kids to start/delay kindergarten. In other words, that may split up LI teams and it may split up a small portion of public school (mostly) teams, but it's the new normal in many cities.

I was definitely rooting for Igloo, but they simply looked like boys against young men, which is simply a matter of puberty. All that said, I thought the winners looked well coach.

PS - I was surprised how much both team pressed out on defense. Made the slides very hard.
