They beat us by 20 plus, given their 7th graders played as much 8th grade as 7th. They are just physically stronger and older at several positions.

That's the only choice available. Let's play!!

Lincoln @ Boyle this Thursday.

Plenty of kids do well with the extra year,but just for athletics is what makes no sense. Maybe do it,but if the kid is superior athleticallylet them play up so it makes them better. That will help even more. I know some schools won't allow because it takes away playing time for others.... that's what upward is for, everybody wins!!! There will always be someone better at something than you are in real life so they need to learn to deal with it.

What he said^^^^^^^^^

Age based is great. Grade based you can have over a year age difference. It should all be age based and if you are good enough, play up!

I agree it helps get a wider area of looks. I do believe Treyvon has some interest already,or trip to Louisville to eat for free. You need to be really good to pay the fees these teams ask! Hotels,food, and whatever else. I just say for some it may help,others it won't.Be careful and not get your hopes up. That is all I'm saying.

Disagree, if you're good enough people will get the word out. Sometimes theses AAU teams just want money!I'm not saying all ,but some.

If he's good enough he will be noticed. At least he's loyal to his team.

Agree, but will never understand the thought process.

Maybe,doesn't mean I agree with it..

This is crazy! 15 in middle school?

Garrard run offense had nowhere to go! The score could have been worse but Boyle showed good sportsmanship and took the knee.

Appreciate it!

Just curious about solid 13u boys AAU programs in central Ky? It really helps kids starting early playing against top competition.

I'm ready to kick back with me some PP92 and watch/evaluate some 12th region bball! You also have to evaluate each venues popcorn at the same time.

High school is usually when the younger kids catch up though. It will not be as easy for the older ones as it was in middle. That's when the playing field evens back up!

Played there several times. Loved it. Played tournament there against Gerald Osbourne(UK football recruit) later was Todd Mays teammate at Virgie. Lots of memories, what a fun gym to play in..always thought about King Kelly Coleman when playing there.

I love the old gyms. Knott County will always be my home! Carr Creek was always our rivalry(Hindman) in elementary. The old middle school gym close to settlement school holds lots of memories for me too. My 8th grade class was the last year of that school.

I agree totally! I can see a one year older in grades....but if you're almost 2 years older-move up people! Play with kids that make you better,not look better.

All I know is this....the kids that are so old in middle unless "elite" are in for a reality check, not only on basketball court,but football field as well!! Any rule that helps at all in this area is better than nothing.

They will have their bumps, but they will improve each and every game. I am ready for the process to begin. They will not be one of the teams you can lay down on. They will come to play!

Looked much better than I expected. I think they might surprise a few by the end of season.
