Our 14 year olds are freshmen in high school. And i have no problem with holdbacks per say. What i think is wrong is purposely holding back a group of kids for the purpose of sports. You push the rules to the limit for the purpose of winning.You forget pikeville got kicked out last year for an illegal player.

Don't confuse the Pikeville situation last year with all the hold back talk. Pikeville was DQ'd because the player in question moved from John's Creek to Pikeville just prior to the state tourney and didn't complete the minimum games played limit to qualify for participation in the tourney. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with the kid's age or being held back at all. I know because I was the single person who sniffed it out to begin with and talked/led our head coach to even approach KBA officials on the issue. We had played John's Creek about 2 weeks prior to KBA with the player in question on that team.
