Red&Blk, unless you know something new, I think we actually dress 31 8th graders. That is before 2 of them had broken legs and one has hurt his left elbow. That would actually put us at 28. We should have one of those back by the time we play in the semi's, if we get past Butler Co or Union Co. We also dress 6 of the 7th graders. For the record before anyone gets it started, we only have 3 hold backs in the 8th grade. None of them have any age or other issues and I'm sure they can check any records they want. I don't have any idea yet what teams will make it to the final four let alone the finals. I feel pretty good about our team but, I am a realist that understands that there are several more teams out there that feel the same way about there teams. I think that is the way we should feel. I think it would be wrong for any of us to get on here and start slamming the other teams or other persons on this site. I am quiet sure the boys playing at some of these schools look at this. I would hate to think that we might say something that could effect one of these kids futures. Lets all try to stay positive and just state our cases as to why we think certain teams will move on. :Thumbs:

Wasnt really sur about the numbers just real sick of kyfun and his arrogance about n n S pulaski. Is assumption that only div 1 teams are good and a small school couldnt compete is BS. I lived 30 miles from sommerset for 5 years Jackson went to Boyle County and Mercer county in that time i volunteered coached in that area the quality of youth and middle school teams in that area is no better than here in wky. N S Pulaski is on an uptick but the last 3 or 4 years does not make you the lousiville trinity of middle school. The coaches at n s pulaski are good guys according to Lone Oaks coach but while we have 3 holdbacks none of them are 15 yet according to what i know correct me if im wrong the coaches in that area traditionally have a many more than 3 can you imagine the top 10 or 15 8th graders from this years team added to this years 7th grade team and all getting to play next year? You and I both know that even an almighty pulaski county team couldnt handle that combination of size and speed that line alone would average over 6ft tall and 250 lb the speed and athleticism of the skill positions with that depth could compete and make a playoff run in alot of 1a districts. Now you and both know that we wouldnt have to do that to compete in the division 1 bracket and that little stat master do nothing but quote his 15 year old opinion about the recent success of pulaski county middle school and the lack of ability of all of us small schools to play the game. Heck how do you insult Meece because they are div3 when that little school's kids get to hs they have shown an ability to hand Pulaski county their butts. Truth be told the middle school state tournament is really important to 3 sets of people the parents players and coaches and it is an honor for us to be competing but unless your priorities are screwed up as a school athletic program middle school football is there to get the kids ready for varsity the way i look at this tournament as a great experience for kids to learn what it is like so it helps them in the next level. KyFun do you know what the the 3 best far west ky middle school teams have in common? We have all at least competed in a state title game. If you cannot understand that it is because we all have high quality middle school programs i am going to tell you right now that if our 7th grade had of raised the funds to play in the tournament you would have seen how well a division 3 school competes against a bigger school they averaged almost 40 a game and only aloud 6 and all but 2 of those schools in our undefeated season would have been division 2 or better.
