At Wurtland Middle this year we only had 2 7th graders (and one of the 2 is a very young 7th grader, could be in 6th) that wanted to play basketball. We have at least a dozen 6th graders and a dozen or so 8th graders but the 7th grade class was just an unusually weak class in athletics, and its a shame because this is at a fairly good size middle school. On the opposite end of the spectrum, McKell Middle, the other Greenup Co. middle school actually had tryouts just to get down to 13 players in 7th grade and they have a good team.
