Now that middle school football is over. Who are the top middle school teams around this year? Will Okerman's 8th grade lose a game this year? I heard RA Jones has over 70 6th graders trying out, that is insane. How many 6th graders are trying out for Okerman and Grey, they had good numbers in the past.

Campbell County will be fielding two teams again. For a school that size, I think it is a very good thing. But, different than before, there will be a true A and B team in each grade. The A team will play in the league and the B team will play in a less competitive environment where they can be successful also.

 

Tryouts are next week. The Camels should be strong in all 3 grades.

Ockerman 8th grade will NOT lose a game this year. Stanley is the best player in the middle school level in NKY. Most any other school system would have him playing at the frosh level this year.

Did the 7th grade get some new kids? I know 2 starters from last year are going to different schools.

Hoptown has the majority of their team back this year, including JaQualis Matlock.

A couple of the 6th grade Gold kids from last year have really developed. Add that with the returning players and the Camels 7th will be a good team. They may not win the championship but with Coach Davie they will compete with everyone.

Good luck to the young Camels..:thumb:

I believe most of the local teams will be competing in the Camel Classic on 11/20-21. That should start to show who some of the better teams are.

They have the opportunity to be very good with their length and athleticism.

 

In the Eastern part of the state Virgie(Shelby Valley) and Johns Creek(Pike Central) have shots at being very good.

Mason County Tourny is the same weekend. I know a few teams going down there to get away from playing local teams.

The 7th grade team at Mercer County should be one of the best 7th grade teams in the state.

Who are some of the better players on that team? Will they be playing at the KBA in December?

You must be thinking about a different school because this is not even close to the number of kids that tried out for RA's 6th grade team.

Rumor is that Ockerman's 8th grade team will be playing Lexington Catholic in a tournament. Not sure of all the details yet. This should be an interesting game if that is the case.

I don't know about December but I suspect they will play in the 7th Grade State Tourney.

 

Will Hager, Drew Davis, Connor Souder, Nathan Parker, Blake Hendren, and they'll probably add 6th graders Jon Dunning, Tanner Robins and Garrett Dean onto that team as well. The bolded kids played AAU ball as the Mercer County Cyclones from 3-5th grade.
