Does Express get to be considered AA if they feature a 6th grader? Doesn't that make them a 2024 team?
Oreilly's team is a true 2025 group of kids that played well this weekend.
I feel bad for the kid, its the parents who allow this. Did they think they would sneak in and go unnoticed? The lax world might be crazy, but it's still a small community. Holdbacks are bad but at least within the horrible age rules as they stand. This matter of a 6th grade 2024 boy who plans to stay in that grade, born in 2006 and playing 2025 with the approval of Channy and the clearly abusive and sick parents is just taking cheating to another level.
If all the organizations formed teams based on WSYL dates, then so be it, but those are not the rules now and the Tournaments should prevent this.
I really do feel bad for the kid. He will have to carry this with him.
