No, Dobie should not have a baseball team because they would need other schools to have baseball teams in order to compete against them,just causing more chaos throughout the schools.

Yes and no, because a baseball team in middle school would be nice for people wanting to play in high school. Also no, because it would just depend on equipment. Baseball equipment is very expensive. If it were to happen students should bring their own equipment and bring it to school.

I feel like Dobie should have a baseball team. I just think that if you make a baseball team, you’d have to make one for all the other schools in your school district as well. I love playing baseball, but I do it outside of school. I feel like Corbett, Dobie, etc, should have a baseball team to prepare you for high school ball, just to see if you want to continue through high school.

Yes, I think Dobie should have a baseball team because they are many people that enjoy the sport and would love to play it at a junior high level.
