The 7 state championships is a great accomplishment. Although that is a high school championship composed of a combined 4 class groups to form one team, talk about that on high school. This is a middle school forum and we are talking about middle school championships they are composed of a single class. We are pulling this way off topic so I am done responding, why doesn't Boyle have a 7 th grade team involved, do they not recognize 7th or do they combine to make team have a little more talent.

The Salt River Conference doesn't do 7th grade and 8th grade teams. They do an A Team (composed of the players at all levels that can compete at that level) and everyone else is on the B Team to develop them on a different level.

What is amazing is that the Salt River Conference titles that have been won (banners in the school) fall in line with state titles almost exactly.[/QUOTE]

As they should because your using essentially the same groups as upper classmen in high school as you did in middle example combined 7th and 8th would be your junior senior class. That’s what makes middles school so awesome to watch is that teams with that one powerhouse class example 8th only can beat some of these schools or at least compete with what will be another schools junior senior class. Like in our situation in the past most groups that won in 7th also won next year in 8th. That’s why the middle school programs that excel there high schools in 7 out of 10 times are good. Now that theory doesn’t apply to school that have more than one school feeding one high school.
