KHSAA rule has always been if you are 18 on August 1st of your senior year, you are eligible. People make this same complaint every year but answer me one thing, what does Belfry and Johnson Central have that most schools don’t? Two of the most successful coaches in the state. Quit blaming failures your school has on something that is not the issue. The two schools you mentioned have a great program from youth ages and up. These programs are winners because of coaching, player commitment and school backing. Blaming hold backs is an entitle excuse to bandage the real issue, your program is not on their level. Look at Beechwood, Corbin, Trinity, Mayfield, Bowling Green, Boyle, Danville, Pikeville... I can go on, but those teams have been in state championships left and right for thirty years! That’s not because of hold backs, that’s because they develop talent and maintain a stable program. Just stop, your embarrassing yourself.

I better every team you listed has a long list of hold backs. "You're" embarrassing your self.
