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.

I am so sick of the "holdback" word.  If the kid is of legal age, it doesn't matter.  You guys act like they're 23 year old men out there playing against 16 year old boys.  The "holdbacks" have to conform to the same age limitations as everyone else.  The only advantage is the "holdbacks" have more varsity experience.
