From wikipedia
Participation in Michigan is generally limited to eligible 9th through 12th graders; students are given eight consecutive semesters of eligibility beginning with the 9th grade. Schools with a four year high school enrollment of 99 or less may draw upon the 8th grade for varsity competition in all sports except football, ice hockey and wrestling, while schools with a four year high school enrollment of 49 or less may also draw upon the 7th grade.
Direct from the MHSAA web site:
Maximum Enrollment and Maximum Competition – Once students begin the 9th
grade, they are allowed eight semesters, or 12 trimesters of enrollment (definition above)....... The rule does not apply to 7th and 8th-graders.
