Mr. Kimball, Pike Co. and Pikeville have a no holdback rule in gradeschool (middleschool). This will definitely put your HS into a disadvantage. We used to have this rule in Letcher Co. but that changes when coach howard arrived and it has made a huge difference in ms. The two middleschools in Letcher Co. have been pretty dominant in the area the last two years and it will be pay big dividends in the future. The age limits haven't changed, but most children go to school at age 5 and will be 13 on graduating ms and 17 in HS even though the limit is 19 after aug 1. Huge difference
