Should 8th Graders be allowed to play varsity sports?

Can anyone explain why every other sport in New Mexico takes 16 teams to the state playoffs and football only takes 12 ? Isn't football the main money maker for the state as far as sports goes? More games more money !!!!!!!!! any thoughts ?

I have read the story in this mornings Abq Journal by James Yodice about the La Cueva Baseball Team. They truly are a Great Team and will more than likely be raising the Blue Trophy in May. However for Yodice to "call out" and name the kid who did'n't make grades in the story, was totally classless !!!!!! Just another example of how those in the Media are just there to "create" more to their story and ego.

No I'm not a La Cueva parent, my son plays on one of the many teams that La Cueva has mercy ruled this year.

Who has impressed

Saw that Rio Rancho is open, what else is opening up?

Kyle or anyone else who would like to chime in:

What are your thoughts on Miles Hilton? I understand he quietly set a few Pius receiving records last year as a junior. I also know he is about 6'3-6'3.5, has good balls skills and on top of being a really good football player, he is a good baseball player and 4 year varsity player.

I'm not sure how fast he is, but even if he is a 4.85-4.9 guy. You gotta think a kid with that frame, ball skills and overall athleticism could contribute at the college level somewhere. Right? Judging soley off film, id say he is a 4.85-4.9 guy but I honestly have no idea. Anyone know about how fast he is?

I saw his highlight on HUDL and came away impressed. Think ENMU would be a great fit for him skill wise. Big WR, who can use that big frame to block and also has good balls skills to use on play action. His dad is an ENMU alumni.

Anyways............I just wanted to compliment the young man. Didn't seem to get a ton of love from the press last year despite a great great year. Anyone have any info on if he is being recruited for football or baseball? Anyone have any input about him? I've known this kid since he was in diapers. Its fun and amazing to see him where he is right now. Crazy how time flies! Congrats to him. Hope he has continued success.
