If the kid is that good, he'll easily make it after he's a Junior. Why be so selfish, let the kids who are trying to be seen that are going to be seniors have the spot. If an 8th or 9th or 10th grader has an awsome day , the scouts won't remember by the time he's a senior. If he is that awesome,he'll be seen Are you just a kid (or parent) whose ego keeps them from seeing this is for upperclassman who want to be seen and whose time is running out. There are very few spots for a lot of good kids. Where's the love?
