My son was only 5’4” in 8th grade. In basketball he played with 6’5” teammates.
What cracked me up was his 11yo season of LL all stars. He was 4’10. When they introduced the lineups he was standing next to a six footer. The six footer grew to 6’3” 220 in college. He played safety for a ranked football program. My son grew to be 6’2”.
