I live in an area where this doesn't happen. How does an 8th grader end up playing on a high school team? I'm just really curious...
I did some research into this myself...in my area, at least, middle school players are allowed to "play up" in high school, but each year they play reduces their HS eligibility by one year. So a girl who plays HS ball in 8th grade will have one less year to play when she's actually in high school. Personally...I'd rather see my daughter play as a senior than as an 8th grader.
