This is not a new or totally unusual concept. Many middle schools around here do some form of 5th quarter. Usually these are after the game is over and not apart of the regular game (scores and fouls). And the purpose is to have kids play that normally do not play. This is not a mandated thing and often is something the coaches agree to before the game starts so there are not surprises. I do not do much middle school games anymore, but the director of the Illinois Elementary Athletic Association addressed this issue a few weeks ago at a meeting I attended. So it still goes on somewhere. How much I am not sure.

Peace
