Middleschool football has changed drastically over the last 10 years. We are forced to keep up with the Jones's and if holding back children(as long as they are eligible for all four years of HS) is what it takes I don't see the problem. We are just now getting to doing the things that the schools in Central and Northern Ky have been doing for years. Spring MS practice plyomentric and weight training and intense schedules and holdbacks are some of those things. Until there is a governing body of MS sports then we play on the honor system. I don't know about HS players playing MS or things like that. You just have to know who you play and go play. I think there are many great teams out there. Belfry and Pikeville are the cream of Pike Co. Bell Whitley clay and New harlan are unreal. Everyone talks Martin up i havent seen them play but Crum has helped me out and is a great guy. It is wonderful to see all of the teams working so hard to be competitive.
