Suggesting that the kids were bigger was not a dig at the team, it was simply an observation. Frankly, I could care less who was on the team, my son's team played them, it was not as if there was some type of unfair advantage. Either way, it's not comparable to bringing the Dukes or True national teams, the BL academy team is not at that level.
Presumably they were short players and brought Academy kids to play. That's fine, but to say Zeus won the tournament is a bit misleading....would they have won without those Academy kids? Only those at the games would know that. I'm sure they are solid players if they are in the academy.
I guess the bottom line is, who cares. Other than social media bragging rights, the wins/losses of a particular team are irrelevant (except maybe to a BL/Zeus hater). These boys are headed to high school in the fall, the weight is on players to prove themselves individually if they hope to play at the next level.
