January 18, 201214 yr Rules are rules, and they should be followed -- or expect the consequences. In the case of HHS the frosh team has had 3 players leave the program since tryouts. They are left with 9 players when all are healthy. It serves this team and its players better to have the 3 - 8th graders dress and participate than to play their schedule shorthanded. It gives the 3 - 8th graders an opportunity to play more games against older, tougher competition and hopefully helps their games improve. The result will be forfeiture of league and/or tourney games at the middle school level but right now it is better for the program at HHS to have the boys play both. I would think the original thought for having such a rule was to keep teams from bringing players "down" for big games or for the tournament. I don't think the intent would be to punish teams that are filling a need or rewarding kids by playing them up. I believe the same thing happen at Campbell County and McGoveny and Wilson went up to freshman. But they are not playing down. Their AD is following the NKMSAA guidelines. Middle school ball should be about helping the kids get ready for high school ball. Pull the kids up that need pulled up and put somebody else in their spot. That would give the HS coaches a bigger pool to pick from the following year.

January 19, 201214 yr Thanks for posting this above. I wish we could get more info about the middle school games though. Does anyone know that records for these teams? Are these for 6th, 7th and 8th grade? Boys and girls games?
January 20, 201214 yr Is this boys and girls? Or just boys and girls later. Girls played the "state tournement" over several week-ends during NKMSAA's pre-season! Dumb! Championship games Thanksgiving week-end. I think 8th grade girls team from Marion County won, but I don't believe any NKy teams attended. There are a of different schedules for MS teams throughout Kentucky. Some finish before the new year so the older kids can join in to focus on finishing out the high school seasons. Some areas have no regional tournament, so they can head down to KBA and participate in the so called "state tournament". KBA kindly puts on these tournaments, but certainly they do so around their own needs and the demands of other organizations such as AAU. The State AAU tournaments will be right after the middle schools stuff is over and goes on for months to get through each grade level, boys and girls.
