Anywhere in VA?
You mean an 8th grader could not play varsity in any VHSL affiliated public school. Independents and others may allow this. I don't know if they still do this, but I can remember basketball triple headers a few years ago at Roanoke Catholic, 8th grade, then JV, followed by Varsity. Some kids that played in the 8th grade game then also played in the JV, some JV's then also played later in the Varsity game. I believe , but not sure positively, that more than one year there was a RC "8th grader" that played in both the JV and V games same night.
