You are right. A program with a senior class that consists of eighteen and nineteen year old kids, should have an advantage over other schools. With that being said, every parent has the oppurtunity to hold their child back, and if the parents at Johnson Central decide to hold their children back, then so be it. Not only does holding a child back benefit them athletically, it also benefits them academically. I don't have a dog in this fight, but the last time I checked, Johnson Central is a top tier school in the state of Kentucky for academics.

JC has always been a school were if a player couldn't make the grades they didn't play! As far Back an the 80's lots of talented kids transferred to other schools for this very reason. My father was a teacher at a local Vocational school for 25 years and he had a bunch of former players and students of a long time Eastern Kentucky football power take his program. He came to understand that fact that students from this particular HS were going to be weak in basic math and reading skills. But he loved the Kids from this particular HS because they would TRY! They would give 100%! He never blamed the kids, he blamed the people running that HS. I heard him say a million times that someone needed to explained too the folks running that HS that football is not everything.
