[WILD WILLIE]

I am not taking anything away from the team's accomplishments in the state tournament. I have absolutely no dog in that fight. As a parent from a school where hold back players are not allowed, I feel justified in voicing concern about our true, first time eighth graders facing at least 9 or 10 hold back players. And before you accuse me of not knowing what I am talking about, we got those numbers straight from Belfry coaching staff. Now we all know how much development occcurs physically and mentally from one year to the next with players this age. Having hold back players gives a team an unfair advantage and more importantly endangers the kids. Holding a child back for sports should not be allowed ever. It is shameful and a waste of tax payer money. But hey, congrats on a great freshman/iv season.

what do you consider as a true 8th grader? and in your opinion what is a hold back, the entire o line on this team is 13 yrs old, so why do you come on a thread unrelated to you or your team and voice your opinion, if you have nothing good to say just simply read and go on and let the kids enjoy there win without someone trying to degrade it, thank you
