A lot of guys develop significantly after HS. Exhibit A: Michael Jordan did not make his varsity HS team in 10th grade. Turned out to be an above average pro according to many.
I'll never know if I would have gotten faster, but in 9th grade I could run with some real speed, but man..it was WAYYY cooler to start smoking than to be able to break 9 seconds in the 100 yard dash.. I kind of doubt there's any record books about being able to smoke 9 cigarettes in 5 minutes nor anyone that would care if there was, but I did get expelled for smoking in school in 10th grade and went on to get a GED and scored in the top 2% in Ohio that year. That and about $2.75 might get you a cup of really crappy coffee at Dennys..
Woulda coulda shoulda.. Not many people accuse 9th grade boys of being particularly smart too often.
