It has NEVER happened in Garden City or Manhasset EVER? Look back over the years, I believe you are wrong. Have you ever seen a 14 year old that looks like he/she is 18? Ever see an 18 year old who looks like they are 14? For the most part there is a difference in maturity between a 14 & 18 year old but, there are always exceptions. Some kids mature much faster than others. As it has been explained here (in a few posts) there are tests, applications, forms, a long process in which these kids are considered to play up. I dont think many parents, coaches, AD's or players take this lightly. Thanks for your "concern" though.
