The advanced kids get an extra year of added competitive play... the rest just move into the spotlight the next year.
In the case of Belfry there really isn't much of a choice They simply don't have the numbers to support two teams most years.. which is the common theme for most small to mid sized schools. If Belfry had 35 8th graders and 35 7th graders I am sure they would field two teams... as it stands now that typically is not an option.
It was posted on here that Belfry makes the 8th graders that do not start play on the 7th grade team. If playing 7th graders up to get them game experience against tougher competition prepares them for high school, one would assume that playing 8th graders down against younger and lesser competition would not prepare them for the next level. I've been around a small to mid sized school for quite some time. I've seen years with 30 plus kids on each 7th and 8th and years that haven't had 30 kids combined. Yet, playing the teams separately has always worked. Maybe not always produced the W/L record desired, but always prepared the kids. As I said to each his own.
