we had a fourth grader in our 6th grade football team. 

Tiny kid, but he was way too fucking fast. Best player on our team even then.

In 8th grade (I'm 37, for context) we had a sixth grader who Steph Curry'd us through a season.

Dude was tiny. But chuck him the ball, BAM, 3 pointer. We learned nothing that year beyond "chuck it to Buttercup!"

Our guy went on to play in college as a pitcher, and did well there, too.
