[QUOTE="donna723, post: 188285, member: 1883"] When my son played high school basketball, we had several players who were really good and one kid on the team who was fantastic! Should they have banned him because he was "too good" and it was unfair? Hey, he had to go to school somewhere and we were just lucky enough that he went to our tiny little school. Was that "unfair"? He was 6'10" and had a grandfather who was a college basketball coach who had been working with him since he was a toddler! Them's the breaks! He wasn't a natural talent either - he worked himself half to death to get as good as he was! He was also a straight A student and had his pick of colleges - they fought over him. He went on to become a first round draft pick in the NBA and played for several years. Should they have held him back because he was "too good" and it was unfair to the other kids? Hog wash! [/QUOTE]
