I think my nephew plays on his team

My nephew is in 9th grade, and moved this summer to that area (just north of Lehi). He's about 6'1" at 14 years old, and he was assuming that he'd be the tallest kid on the freshman team and play center. He was a little disappointed to find there was an 7-foot 8th grader playing there. I can't imagine there is more than 1 7-foot 8th grader in the Lehi area.

He should never ever dribble. Ever.

Is he in Lehi's boundaries, or Westlake's?

Lehi boundaries but Dad is getting pressure to move him to LP...

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

1/27/15 11:40am

why? because LP is better than Lehi, and as far superior coaches

palangi

1/27/15 11:42am

That would be a good reason

Yep. If you have a kid with unique gifts, you should do everything possible to

IMO, going to LP would help him have more agility, mobility.

Even if he's not great a 7'2" (or taller) would make a huge difference on the

Maybe in Carolina they change grades on their birthday for some odd reason.

Ebolarama

1/27/15 12:23pm

LOL you so funny .. and wrong.. they are in differnt grades.. Too bad Srey

1/27/15 2:39pm

very common that kids aren't inhthe same grade anyways

palangi

1/27/15 12:29pm

Yes , You realize his nephew is in 9th grade and this kid is 8th . Don't you?

1/27/15 2:37pm

9th grade is Jr. High School there - they're both in Jr. High.

It hasn't really been that many years since Kyle Collinsworth was there.

5 years, without a jr's or sr's making any noise, makes 7

palangi

1/27/15 12:36pm

Yes, but since they had such a good run, I'm not exactly heartbroken.

BW84

1/27/15 12:47pm

good run, yes, but has Drury's reputation taken a hit recently? why hasn't he
