Not sure but Rising Sons 2019 beat Outlaws handidly, beat NYC 2019 and then beat 91 Crush. Those parents from Crush were losing their minds. I saw MC with a huge smile on his face watching Crush get crushed. Does anyone know how the Rising Sons 2020 did vs 2020 Terps?

I told you puberty would be the equalizer with Crush. They will probably drop out of all 7A tourney's now and play their age this summer. Knowing those Rising Mennonites are out there.

Please stop complaining. I'm sure some of the LI 7th graders are big to. What are you gonna do , they grow them big over there. I doubt they lie about age. Are you sad you lost

So they are only cheating by 3 kids?...Or 30% of a 10 man squad.

You just said it they are older than our 2019 kids by alot- August is 6-9 months older. Your school cut off is 4 months older than ours.
Your older period. Do not think it make a different look at pop warner championship stats from the last 25 years the older team almost always won. Most kids near cutoff date= best chance of championship

My 2019's are a foot taller than my 2020's....and my 2020's are a full foot taller than my 2021's. Why would you not believe that our 2019's wouldn't be a foot taller than a long island 2020??

In PA children need to be 5 on or before 8/31 to enter Kindergarten. It is VERY common for children with summer Birthdays to not start school when they have just turned 5 but to wait until the next year. So they start Kindergarten as they just turned 6. That is if the parents (or schools) feel that they are not mature enough to handle kindergarten at a young 5.

I'm sure the team is good. Really. But I bet if you look at the birthdates of the 2 teams you will see that the PA team is on average 6 months older. That is very significant at this age. I would say that in general if you compare kids of otherwise similar skill and ability, the older team wins the vast majority of times.

It seems from the posts above that based on school start dates, US lax rules and a few hold backs, your starting 10 on your 2019 team are anywhere from 6 months to a year older than the average 2019 LI team. Most likely they are in line with the average 2018 team here. Understand, we parents from LI know this, yet we have our kids play your teams, we welcome the competition. We believe our kids will get better and benefit from challenging themselves while playing up in age against your older teams. My question to you is: What is the benefit to your players when you knowingly play them down against younger, smaller kids? I know they're the same "grade" but we all know the facts. Why do you drive all the way to LI to do that? Would you not want to challenge your kids at least against kids the same age and size? I'm not trying to be provocative, I just don't understand the mindset behind doing that. Do you and the parents on your team sit around and say: "wow, did you see Johnny blow by that kid from LI who was a year younger, that was awesome". Please, I know I sound sarcastic, but I'm really trying to understand what the benefit to your team is?

I think if you looked at the Crush roster you would see that on average they are 6 months older than all the other 2020 teams...

Igloo won 10-1
