In the olden days, we were admonished about things recorded on our permanent records. Don’t remember any bad news to classmates, but some problems did occur. Playing a game in middle school seems like small potatoes. Relax and explain the game if asked. Don’t expect an inquiry.

I’m not sure the college cares much about middle school. No need to explain yourself unless asked explicitly.

In fact, I think the question on the Common App asks if you have any disciplinary violations from the 9th grade forward. So, you can honestly answer “no” as long as you stay out of trouble in high school.
