I agree Do-double-gg about people want to say all those successful teams recruit? Just think if you had a young child. We all want the best for our kids. Wouldn't you want your son to play in a good organized league where your son can get to play and learn the game of football instead of just playing in some unorganized league where it's so screwed up and never know when their games are til the last second and never really learn anything about the game of football. It's appealing to these parents of these young kids because it offers a better opportunity for their kids to learn the game of football. I think when Bevins, Turkey Creek, Runyon, and Blackberry all combined to create Belfry Middle School was the best possible thing that could of happened. These kids all get 2 years to play together on the same team before they ever play a snap of high school football. They get to build chemistry with each other. Before, these kids would play high school with kids they didn't know and it took a couple years just to learn one another and get used to playing one another. If you look at it, usually teams with good high school teams also have very good middle school programs and teams who arn't very good at the high school level usually arn't very good at the middle school level either.
