I think it's more impressive when teams can compete at both levels. Especially when the 7th grade bracket contains all divisions compared to breaking into 3 divisions for 8th grade.

It takes numbers, though. Belfry can't possibly have two teams compete like that. So you know Pikeville, Paintsville, Adams, etc. don't have the numbers for it. Some smaller teams participate but it's just unnecessary to me. Anyone who'd have a chance to win it in 7th grade has a chance to win again the next year. Just like high school ball. 8th is the "varsity" and everything under isn't. Just makes the most sense to me. But whatever works for your program, I say do it.
