Kind of feel for a kid in that situation. You are either the oldest kid, driving before everyone else, which may seem cool, or your young and graduating at 17 and waiting an extra year to drive. Kind of a man with no country. I guess I am naive, but people hold their kids back to perform better in sports? I can see holding them back because they are struggling with academics, but to do it so your kid can be a sports star? Sounds like a parent living out there dreams through their kid. And I am not saying that is the case with Edwards, don't know the kid or his family, so it's not for me to pass judgement. The Flames are a great organization ranking with Midland so he may of tried the 15u and 14u squad both and only made one. Summer ball is so much more competitive than high school that's for sure. I would almost venture to say that some of the 13u and 14u select programs could beat a fair amount of freshman high school teams and maybe give a few JV squads a run for their money. But, back to the point of the thread, either Campbell County has five pretty good freshman or the program is struggling to get players involved.
