Check your balls

That really is confusing considering the normal size for a ball is 29.5.

In Washington State we use a women's ball for all MS games. I was checking the game ball before we started and noticed that it was a Men's ball. I mentioned it to the home coach and asked him for a smaller ball. He told me they only have the men's size and that is what they had been playing and practicing with. So, I went to the visiting coach and asked if they had a game ball we could use because the home team could only provide a men's ball. To which the whole visiting team of scrawny 7th graders puffed their chests, flexed their biceps and replied "but we are men".

They were that day as both teams had been using the men's size ball for practice and play.
