My step-son is also one of the bigger kids in the 8&U age group. I agree with these kids being able to go to state. Not all of them are just fat kids like you make it sound. My step-son's father is 6'9. Garrett is a big boy. He doesn't junk he plays football and he wrestles. He just happens to weigh 143 and is 9. His birthday is Dec 27th. He shouldn't be penalized because of his genetics. He's a very active kid he's just big.
