Why don’t they play by birth year? You want to see “fair on fair” make it birth year or a “born no earlier than” date. August 1 feels like a fair cutoff. Can anyone explain to me what a 14 year old gets from beating a 12 year old? High school is high school and the rules are different. But a 14 year old 6th grader??? That’s insanity unless there are serious development issues. Btw- you will be 20 when you graduate hs…what a joke. At least they can drive themselves to games in 8th grade.
