Here's what I suggest you tell your son. "You played really hard against a bunch of bigger and more talented kids who your mom and I think are probably on average 6 months older than you. That's what it's going to be like when you get into ninth grade and start playing for your high school team so you should probably get used to it. If you really want that t-shirt or gold medal, we'll go out and buy you one."
“On average 6 months older”?? That would be an accurate statement if the Maryland teams were all actually “on age”. However when my sons Express team plays a team from Maryland, he is playing a team with almost no “on age” players, obviously. And in the case of ExLax, we all know those “on age” players are replaced with double hold backs and true 2023 players from other teams. My only question is, why do the ExLax players only play down?
