Is there an age cutoff in these things? I really am not a fan of 14 year old 6th graders (unless it became universal). I think that is one of the major (only) drawbacks and complaints across Ky youth football. 13 is fairly old for a 6th grader, 14 is, in my opinion getting to a real unfair advantage. And yes, I've had 14 year olds, they are great when they are on your team, play a team full of 14 year olds in 6th grade and it's near carnage as most are playing up on middle school and learning all these more advanced techniques to be competitive. Cracking is the major thing that seems to get to another level in middle school, and a big 14 year old that can crackback on any blocking play,offense, or on an interception is darn near scary when they crack an 11 year old 80 pound corner. This is something that could lead to major headaches if some kid is hurt badly, bad press, and just a common decency factor. Personally I feel anyone capable of starting on a 7th grade junior high team should not be allowed to play in little league, period.
