my 9th grader and most of his friends are only 14... my point of stating which yj team my daughter was on was to refute comment that I was probably worried some 8th grader was going to take my daughters spot... no such fears or cares. the best should play no matter the age. Raised a consideration about bringing 8th grade girls up. That's it. A consideration. There are of course many factors. You are angry. Regret your wife's wilting back tattoo? Daughter has cankles? Sarge isn't granting you enough OT? Must be something.
