I am having a hard time understanding why this isn't fair. If anything it is a disadvantage to Pikeville because the 8th graders have not got to play with the team all year like most kids. All 8th graders in the state of Kentucky (even in Pike County, Letcher, etc) can play Freshman football, but not JV football because then there is a chance they could play against Juniors, which is illegal. The only exception is if they were held back that year. Then they can only play against Junior High competition. So don't say Pike County does not allow this. Your coaches do not allow this.

I'm not gonna sit and dispute your word. Call the Pike County BOE and see what they say and then call around to the schools... see what they tell ya!!
