At least Pikeville ranks in the top 10 schools for the state year in and year out. And yes, I agree with you on the 12 from JBS getting scholarships. That is how they get all those athletes to attend school there. Everyone who goes to JBS gets free college if they go to ALC. If you catch a parent over there that their boy goes to a different school, and they get told that if they attend JBS for free, then get free college, they will send jr to school there. But they are not a academic school first and athletics second. If they really was that, then they wouldnt allow ball players to be held back. You can say that middle school and high school is different, but they both have the same headmaster. So they are the same school. They do not list JBS as a 9-12 school do they?

You are not in reality of what goes on in basketball these days if you think that they are the only school that holds their players back. Their are schools in the 15th that I bet have a much higher rate of hold backs. You should do a survey of the teams around you and you would be amazed how many kids are held back. I was trying to explain to that person that you cant hold a kid back in high school not that it is right or I agree with it just that you cant do that like they thought.
