Wurtland 6th has lost to Russell away (by 13) and Elliott Co. away (by 25ish, this is one tough little team, especially out there). We've beaten McKell's 6th and East Carter 6th at home by 20ish each pulling our starters early to get ready for 7th grade game. Wurtland 7th (same team as 6th grade but adding 1 7th grader that plays much) lost at Russell (by 10) and lost at Elliott Co. (by 11), and lost to McKell at home (25ish), beat East Carter by a few points (under 10) at home also. Wurtland's 8th is 3-1 having lost to Russell away and beating East Carter at home, McKell at home and Elliott Co. away.

We play at East Carter tonight, at Fairview Thursday, and at Raceland Saturday. All 6th, 7th and 8th. This is the 6th graders first year together as a combined team instead of the 4 elementary school teams where they played against each other. They have talent but its taking time for them to get know each other. This will be a totally different team in January. 10 of the 12 boys on the 7th grade team are these 6th graders and most of them are still 11 year olds. Its a great learning experience for them to be able to play 2 games a night and play up so much against better competition and still be competative. Only will help in the future.
