Tom, Its not about practicing with upperclassmen, most freshmen look forward to kids state as their time to shine, this will take that away from them. Also as the high school division grows there will be fewer freshmen even attempt kids state with a few exceptions like Harrelson or Conklin, what we will end up with is an 8th grade (14U) division and a 11th-12th grade (HS) dominated division with nothing in between. How does this help our sport grow?
