In my opinion JBS is what's wrong with Kentucky High School Basketball. I'm not knocking the kids they are talented and seem to be great young men but I think it's ridiculus to hold kids back when they are smart enough to go on.....I mean geez J.B.S. i s supposed to be an "academic school". I think J.B.S. is better right now then it has ever been or ever will be in the future and holdbacks are rumored to be the reason. I can't help it call me stubborn but I still don't think J.B.S. is what everyone cracks them up to be. When they win a region I'll give them credit....not a moment before before. I think everybody wants to play them because of how hyped they are.

Redshirts have been fueling basketball powers and wanna-be powers since the '50's. I'm surprised you have only now discovered that. June Buchanan didn't originate the policy of "redshirting" for athletic purposes. Perry Central (M.C. Napier, Dilce Combs), Knott Central (Carr Creek, Knott County, Hindman)l, South Laurel (Hazel Green, Lily, London, Bush), Clay County, and many, many other schools have reaped benifits from this policy for years. Not to single out the schools. Just giving examples. It's a statewide tradition.
