Ok, I am not a Johnson County football fan myself. Sorry, I jumped to that conclusion Dillion. However, I am opposite sides of you on the hold back issue, however I respect your opinion and beliefs on the issue. I only see the upside of the issue, the held back kids are more mature and I believe that one extra year can make a huge difference in development, and give the child more opportunities, does it always work that way no, but has it worked enough to make it worth trying yes. What is worst case, kid 18 or 19 starting college instead of 17. However, i strongly believe it is the parent's and child's choice, not a coach, school or anyone else. I have close friends who disagree and that is their right, i do what i feel is best for my kids as they do for theirs.

More mature and physically developed than those not held back which as I said gives them a huge advantage on an unlevel playing field. There should be a separate division for schools that hold back. It's going to be an up hill climb for any school competing against them that doesn't hold back. I just hate to see the young kids that run into these teams and have not much of a chance at all to win to where they're discouraged from playing the game.
