JV 8th Region Tourney who will come out on top?

When is it and where???

I know it is in Owen Co... I can really only talk about Carroll County's team

 

Our team consists of 2-8th graders, 1-7th grader and 2 junior as starters the rest of the team has mainly Freshman.

 

Coach does not let the Freshman and Sophmores that play a lot of varsity play JV so we usually use this as a learning tool, however they are winning quite a few games this year so you never know. I do know that the tournament is 2/17

As long as in the long run this helps out the program i can understand why they do that but at some schools i dont understand why girls dont play at the grade level there in JMO seems like you cant build confidence if your an 8th grader playing varsity against juniors and seniors who are a little bit more advanced then you are.

We just do not have the numbers, we have 19 girls total in the basketball program and 5 of them are Middle School girls. There are a lot of reasons for it but it really comes down to 2 reasons.

1. Bad coaching decisions at the MS level about 4 years ago that made most of what would be our Upper class girls quit.

2. It is hard work, most girls would rather be a cheerleader or do something that does not require the type of physical commitment that B-Ball does, plus it is not a very glamorous sport.

 

Most of the programs around us have this problem to some degree but ours is really tough right now because of the MS problems several years ago, we are seeing an increase in numbers every year and I think this issue will correct in about 2 years.

 

The Middle school program is loaded now and we have 7 freshman this year!
