I concur Smoky. I think many of the younger high schoolers are discouraged as it is pretty challenging to go from 14 & U to then step up to what is very likely even tougher competition in Kids State series than they face in HS Varsity qualifying for State by the time they would get to District if they advance. All other age classes are 2 yrs in age difference whereas the HS division is 4 yrs and also combines the 3A,4A,5A & 6A classes. I know many of the possible 16 & Unders simply just dont sign up now. _
