thats great point so they dont compete against other teams until highschool?

Correct. Until their frosh year, the kids in the FT Jr Football League will not have played one game against any team outside FT. There was a short period of time when Tom Duffy was the head coach at Highlands where we moved away from our concept and formed two teams (7th and 8th grade players) and completed against the teams of other schools. While the teams had success, the number of kids in the 7th and 8th grade playing football dropped. When Mueller replaced Duffy, we decided to go back to the original concept: just compete against teams within the FT League and increase the number of kids in the 7th and 8th grade playing football (the number basically doubled because we again had 4 teams as opposed to 2).
