Assuming compliance with the above stated KHSAA rule (August 1st)... this means a student could start school as a senior at age 19... using my own kid as an example.. he turned six in late August of his kindergarten year. Now, if we had decided to hold back in middle school, he would have turned 19 in late August of his senior year, making him eligible. In all honesty, my experience has been that holding a middle school kid back for athletic reasons is not particularly good socially for the kid.
