I know I was just wondering how many middle schools could lay claim to having teams. Since some actual schools do not have the program the kids play JV and I imagine at a lot of smaller schools the JV is mostly 7/8th graders.

I am still of the mind that over the long run middle school team will benefit the HS programs. I know it has only been 3 years in FM but both FMMS and GHMS have done well against HS JV's (boys and girls). I can't help but think these kids are getting an extra 2yrs to play as a team before HS and that will pay off eventually.

At the least it give the coaches a chance to see the players who may not be known from local club but have potential.
