If this is true, then he has given up his senior year of eligibility. Unless the school decided to hold him back, then he might be, but if the parents held him back, he will have to forfiet his last year of eligibility. If the school promoted him to the next grade (9th) then he must go or give up his last year of football eligibility. Read the KHSAA rule book
Maybe it doesnt apply to LCC.

Unless this student failed his 8th. Grade year, according to the KHSAA bylaws, he will not be eligible if he actually got held back in 8th. Grade.
Bylaw 4. Enrollment
Sec. 1) Maximum Number of Semesters
a) A student promoted from grade eight (8) to grade nine (9)
shall have four (4) consecutive calendar years of eligibility from
the date of first promotion by the school provided the student
is eligible according to this and all other Association bylaws.
The eligibility shall conclude with the completion of the spring
sports season following the fourth year. No additional eligibility
may be granted in a case where the grant would allow a student
to compete in all or part of the fifth competitive season in a
single sport following the initial promotion by the school from
grade eight (8).
Do parents have options relative to holding students back
in grade eight?
Kentucky Department of Education regulations place the
responsibility for promotion or retention of a student on school
personnel and not parents. Once âpromotedâ from the eighth
grade, a studentâs four consecutive calendar years (8 semesters)
of athletic eligibility begins.
A student repeating the eighth grade may not represent a high
school team at any level. In addition, if parents make the choice
to retain a student in the eighth grade after the student has
been promoted by school personnel, then that student will lose
his or her senior year of eligibility.

You can make a request to the school to hold a child back in the 8th grade as long as they have not been officially promoted to ninth. It has no effect on high school eligibility as long as they turn 19 after a certain date their Senior year. A child cannot play a high school sport while repeating a grade in elementary school but they can still play an elementary sport if the local grade school athletic association allows it. I do not believe grade school kids are allowed to play high school football anyway.

Parents cannot request a holdback. It is the school's decision to make.

They can request the school who will make the decision on holding the child back. I know the decision is up to the school, but the school can hold the child back for whatever reason. Most of the time, it will be in favor of what the parents want. If the school approves the child staying back before he is promoted he does not lose any high school eligibility but he cannot play high school sports while he is repeating the grade.

I agree. I think this rumor crap started in Whitley County and has made its way into Letcher County as the rumors of him coming to LCC become more frequent.
12-09-2009, 01:38 PM
All I was asking is this kid going to be a freshman or not next year at LCC? If no one knows, then it is a rumor. If someone has true info to back it up, then we can talk about this kid.

As far as official, not yet, but it will be in time. HH has sold his house in Pikeville and is moving to Florida.

It worked that way for a while, but if the parents want to hold them back it seems the school usually agrees. They just have to do it before they are promoted.

Are talking about the school or the Cougar fans?

This is Hillard's nephew that coaches his Junior High team for him. Hillard is leaving and yes he has bought a home in Florida. I look for him to be around during football season because you all know that a coach that has done it as long as Hillard has can't just walk away cold turkey. The team will be Coach Whitaker's next year and I hope that everyone will give him a chance to put in his own touches to make this program his instead of Hillard's and then people can judge if they are happy with him as a head coach. I for one know that nobody will outwork him as far as hours worked goes. He is one of the most organized and structured coaches that I have ever me and I know that he will work extremely hard to continue the winning tradition that Hillard and all of the coaches have worked so hard to develop. So COUGAR fans let's give Coach Whitaker a chance to show us what he can do. Nobody out there hates to see Hillard leave more than I do but I do think that Hillard had a little to do with bringing Whitaker in here so he must have faith and confidence in him for a reason.

why would the family move to Letcher from whitley. He wont start until his JR year. take him closer to home.

I think that the young man and his parent wants him to play for his uncle Mike Whitaker. I understand why he would want to do this and according to everyone Coach Whitaker is one heck of a QB coach.
