Title: Ballin'
Post by: Vandy Vol on February 23, 2013, 05:09:54 PM
That's what this kid does.  He's a fifth grader who starts on his high school's basketball team.

The Bleacher Report did an article on him (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1534147-julian-newman-stars-on-high-school-varsity-team-despite-being-in-5th-grade) if you're inclined to learn more.

Pfft. I would school that little fucker in a game of one on one. Simply post him up, back him down in the paint, and score all day.

Not everyone's ego has adjusted to the fifth-grader's skills, however.

Tierney also notes that five teams forfeited games rather than face Downey Christian School. Sparing yourself the embarrassment of being beaten by a fifth-grader is offset by the embarrassment of forfeiting to him, isn't it?

That's called being between Scylla and Charybdis.

Good story.
