Express got beat all summer by bigger teams. PrimeTime blew right down the field on them. The Express parents on the sidelines after that performance were a lot like the Hillary voters in November, 2016 - wait, what just happened?? We're leaving when the parking lot is still full?? Some kids will hit their growth spurts this year while others will grow later. Depending on the timing, that might mean Express continues to struggle this year. Not that Express won't wind up back on top, but anyone thinking that the transition from best 5th grade team to best 10th grade team is a seamless one may be disappointed.
Prime Time historically has a lot of CT prep school (either actual or aspiring) holdbacks. Don't know about the 2025 team in particular but it wouldn't surprise me if they were older than Express in a meaningful way, at a time in development when that makes a difference.
