I'm not part of or affiliated with either school system so I'm on the outside looking in. The buzz around the area outside of the two schools is not about a few transfers, which has always happened and always will, but about the number of hold backs which filtered all the way back through middle school.  I don't know the actual numbers and how much truth there is to the chatter (the truth is usually somewhere in the middle).....but..... if the numbers are what I'm hearing then I wouldn't be surprised to see more schools pull out.  In my opinion hold backs should be legal and rare. Each case needs to be thoroughly thought out and have multiple legitimate reasons to happen.  If this is the case at Raceland and the numbers are small, then I say be happy for their success, grow up and wish them the best in trying to bring a state championship to eastern Kentucky.  If the numbers are large as many are alleging then I think their complaints are understandable.

Doesn’t matter why the number is. If it’s legal then what is the complaint? Every school in this area can do the same thing. With that being said idk the number and I wouldn’t hold my kid back just for sports unless he or she suffered a injury where they missed the entire season. I believe the hold back talk is just social media talk. I believe there are other reasons for this and Russell may be using the hood back argument as a scapegoat. But we will never know …..as the world turns in the here today gone tomorrow issues of social media hahah
