Dang that Kaseem kid was stroking it from the outside. But is that his total points for the whole weekend or that's 1 game stats? Also, didn't Blake get his nosed busted or something, isn't that why he struggled at first?

 

My last question is, does the Pyro ever play up or they stay in their age group whenever they play?

Actually they have tried to play up is what the coach told me when I asked. Most tourneys have trouble filling 14's and they usually get put back down. They did play up in their tourney when the team from Stone Memorial refused to play them because he didn't believe their age. Then they dominated two 16 and under teams that weekend.

He is actually supposed to be in 8th grade. He is the Pyro's one grade exception.

 

Maybe I am mistaken but a grade exception apllies to kids that are older than 14 but are still in the eighth grade. By that I mean 15 and not turning 16 before sept.1 -Have the rules changed or is it different in older age groups? Being in the ninth grade should mean playing 15's wouldn't it? Why would you want to play against eighth and sometimes seventh graders after playing high school ball?

No they got rid of the grade levels for AAU because of the ages varying too much. Now, you can have 1 grade exception per team. I believe he is related to Coach Benjamin is why he is playing with those guys. Traditionally Kaseem isn't even one of the top 3 players on their team. That would goto Rian Hall, Jordan Hall, and Blake Golden.

It would make for a considerable advantage having played freshman ball instead of Middle School the school season leading up to your 14U AAU year. Comments?

Also does anybody know if he can continue playing with that age group or must jump to 10TH grade/16U for the next season?

Playing on an elite team with above average players around you will sometimes give kids a tremendous advantage as opposed to playing on a more srtuctured, slower paced school level team with kids that probably don't have as much talent

If a player meets the birthdate requirement for his age group, he is not considered a grade exception even if he is a grade above others in his age group. He would be eligible to continue to play in that age group as he moves on up.

 

This generally applies to kids who are young for their grade and/or started school a year early. Tony White, Jr., was an example. He was young enough to be a junior when he was a senior - graduated from high school after just turning 17. As a 16-u for example, he met the birthdate requirment even though he was a junior.

 

You can have three grade exceptions up to the 14-u age group. You can have as many as you want from 15-u on up.

    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
