I can really relate to and appreciate Shawn Budkes commments. I am the mother of a 13 year old, soon to be 14 year old 8th grader who is not yet 90 lbs. The 7 lb. allowance concerns me and seems unfair. My son is on the smaller side and will be doing good to be close to 103 next year as a freshman. I know of others who are or would have been in this situation.

I hope the right decisions are made...please don't forget about the little guys. Mr. Budkes is absolutely right...there are already enough sports that take the little guys out of the running due to size!
