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.

That was certainly not the case. They pulled some players, and put them right back in. The quarterback played in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. I was at the BMS 8th grade game as well, our 7th grade played the same team the 8th did. It amazes me how people try to change the truth for whatever reason. It looks like they would have wanted to let some of the team that doesn't get to play have a little playing time. After all they were playing a straight 7th grade team. But all in all I think the BMS 7th grade did a good job and showed a lot of heart. I was really proud of them.

NICE!!!! We are ALL proud of them!! It takes a lot of heart for a 7th grade team to play an 8th grade team and keep their heads up. We have some GREAT kids!!

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??

NO!! #4 is the 8th grade QB and #8 is the 7th grade QB.... Different kids, different last names and different ages!!

you are misreading my post,out of 28 players, 8 are 7th graders.5 eighth graders are on injured reserve along with 2 of the 7th graders unable to play.So, this gives us a total of 6 seventh graders and 15 eighth graders,a combined total of 21 players.4 of the 5 injured eighth graders were starters, this is why I stated it is not the same team Belfry 8th grade played. The question I asked on the quarterback was not intended for Belfry 8th,and Belfry 7th,but for Martin Co.,the quarterback that played against Belfry 8th,and Belfry 7th?

Now I couldn't answer that one for ya
.... I was told that YES.... it was the same QB but I'm not sure!! When did the 7th grade players get to go into the game?? Was it after the half or late in the 3rd?

there was 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, however 3 of the seventh graders got to start that game along with 1 reserve 8th grader.But after the player from Belfry was late hit (the player that committed the foul was suspended for the rest of the game and the following game by coach K)the 7th grade starters were pulled.AS I said before Belfry 7th played very well and they should be proud.The quarterback that played against Belfry 8th was number 3, the quarterback against Belfry 7th was number 7.Martin Co. does not have enough kids to have two seperate teams,I wish we did,but regardless Belfry played with heart and did not quit against a team made up of mostly eight graders.

We must have been at 2 different games because the quarterback that was used against our 7th grade was #21, #7 was in for only a short time. He didn't even get to finish the 3rd quarter.

How old is this 7th grader #21
