[Mr.Kimball]

I don't see a problem with a sixth grader playing as long as he/she is good enough and his/her parents condone it. If the kid is not getting any better playing competition that may be considered lower then I say let them play up if they can't already.

Napier at Perry Central started varsity as a 6th grader, and has been considered one of the best players in the 14th region for some time now.

Harrison Co. is one of the most elite programs in the state and just a few years ago they had a kid that also started varsity as a 6th grader. I think he was even on one of the state championship teams and if I am correct he may have set the all time record for career hits.

Baseball is a little different than basketball or football. It is the one sport where you can play up and contribute even with a roster of upper classmen.
