He was tall, yes..but 370 lbs.?! And..as you said, to be allowed to play with other 13 year old's? Really, that is unbelievable. Can you imagine being the parent on the opposing team seeing who your child was up against. Has anyone ever spent a bit of time at even a high school Freshman campus to see the average size of the young men? Most are still so small. A real tragedy it is. Shame on the coaches!Dumbwit Tellherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.com
