So this young man played in a 7th/8th grade game? I didn't think that was allowed, since he is a 6th grader, and since he also plays for Johns Creek. So I don't see how he can play for the middle school team at Pike Central when he attends Johns Creek, which is a K-8th school? Interesting.

First I will say that I am not connected to the Johns Creek/Pike Central program in any way. But it makes sense that he would be playing for Pike Central middle, since Pike Central is made up of Johns Creek and Mullins. Apparently the two grade schools keep separate teams in 3rd/4th and 5th/6th grades, but combine them for 7th/8th grade. I don't know why they combine one and not all three teams.

As for him playing up, he certainly has the talent to do so. I don't know the rules on that, but I imagine that kids can play up on an older team, just not the other way around. If a 6th grader can play and make an impact on a 7th/8th grade team, then kudos to him. He will be one to watch as he progresses through middle school and on into high school.
