that was not the case,Martin County pulled their 8th grade starters at the start of the 3rd quarter,at 34-0.When a team only has a total of 28 players,20 of which are 8th graders and 8 ,7th graders (5 of the 8th graders are on injured reserve and 2 ,7th graders unable to play ) 4 of the 5 injured were starters,so the 7th grade Belfry squad did not face the same team that their 8th grade did,however Belfry 7th played very well against a team made up of 7th and 8th graders,this competition the 7th grade team plays now will pay dividends later.

We are proud of them!! BUT... as highlighted above....(and correct me if I'm wrong please).... out of 28 players only 8 of them are 7th graders and according to what you wrote..... 5 are on IR and 2 are unable to play so basically you only had 1- 7th grader playing....5+2+1 does equal 8 doesn't it???

So, from what I am reading and from doing a little simple addition, basically the BMS 7th graders played an 8th grade team + 1- 7th grader.......Now, is this correct or am I misreading your earlier post??
