We had a minor altercation at the district title game for our 9-10 year old last night. One thing I learned from the last playoffs we had pre-covid. The encouraging friendly atmosphere of a intra league game disappears once you start competing inter league at the district, sectional, and state levels. Like screaming to distract a kid on the opposing team from catching a ball different.
