I remember when Carver had their middle school team and we played Alabama teams, they just agreed to not play their ninth graders. It worked out well because it gave the younger, and usually smaller guys a chance to play without having to “bench” your ninth graders. I understood the AL teams liked this chance.

I agree with joe. But, in my opinion I bet it would have been a great victory for EW any way had they got to play! GO CHIEFS~!

I don’t really think middle school is a good age for organized football anyway. At least not tackle football, when you consider the huge differences in size between kids at that age. You can end up with a 6′ 160 lb kid playing against a 4′ 6″ 75 lb kid. I just think it’s better to wait until high-school for the rough stuff.
