These teams will all look different this year as this is/was the year the kids all hit the growth spurt. The quick, little guys will no longer be able to out-quick everyone else. All the speed and strength changed tides. The "bigger kids" are now Average sized so that childhood advantage is now moot. Get ready for a lot of surprises. People may want to put their car magnets in the glove box at this point because the hierarchy is changing.
History doesn’t support your case! The best 4th grade teams over the years were also the best HS teams on Long Island. Now step away from Long Island, yes the scales do balance, especially with the National teams. But the LI teams “hierarchy” remains a constant.
