Can a sixth-grader play in a high school basketball team? Yes. There is a new basketball star, and his name is Julian Newman. After getting 91 points (分数) in a basketball game last season (赛季), Julian became a player in a high school basketball team.

At first, some people worried about Julian. Would Julian get hurt? Could he play well with other high school students? But Julian is a very good basketball player. He loves the game, and he plays very hard. He practises playing basketball at least three hours a day.

“We don’t need to worry about him at all. Julian is really a great basketball player. He plays basketball very well and we all like him,” says Junulhun Ferrell, a high school student in the team.

Last season, the team won 3 games and lost 18 games. This season, with Julian’s help, they won 21 games and lost only 6. But now, some schools don’t want to play with Julian’s team. Why? Maybe they don’t want to lose to a 12-year-old boy.
