That just comes down to when they were born and when they started kindergarten.

So, yes if this game is showing 20-22 year old high schoolers then that is a huge error, and bug.
Most state high school athletic associations have rules governing this type of thing. I think in some cases a kid can play at age 19, but only if his birthday falls before a certain cutoff date.
