Holdbacks will always be part of middle school football, anyone who knows anything about football knows several Northern Middle players are getting by because they are older. There is a very big difference in a 12/13 year old and a 14/15 year old. I watched the same Northern Pulaski stars do nothing last year when they played against players their same age (8th last year). Everything will level out in high school, and the true players will show up, enough said.

Where are you seeing 12 year olds in 8th grade? The difference is 13/14...to 14/15. You act like there is a bunch of 15 year olds playing against 12 year olds in an 8th grade game. If that's the case, that's the opposing teams problem for playing underage kids against LEGAL 8th graders. If you watched the Northern "stars" last year, you didn't see them fail much. The only 2 legitimate losses for the Northern 8th grade team last year was Southern Pulaski & Bell County. Both of which were made up primarily of hold backs. Last years 8th grade was mostly younger than the majority of the teams on our schedule. You're right, everything will level out in high school. Let us know how that works out for you in the next couple years. Guarantee it doesn't work out the way you'd like.
