Headhunter, you're right on target here. Anybody that disagree's is only disagreeing because you are telling the truth. I have been told by some of the Shelby Valley parents, more than one by the way that this very thing goes on. They had a dominating middle school team two years ago. Some of those 8th graders were driving to school the following year!!! As I recall, I graduated from high school at the age of 17! Big difference huh? As you say, they struggle now because they are now playing kids their own age and cannot physically push them around. But it goes on everywhere, not just there, just the way it is now I guess.
