Alright TigerBait and goal-line,
We had plenty of holdback's on our team this year and we won lots of games and the holdbacks helped a lot. I'm glad the parents chose to hold those kids back because it can do nothing but help our high school program in the future, I like the idea of holding kids back for sports, it gives them that extra year of playing and hopefully let them develop their skills and possibly help them earn that hard to get scholarship someday. That's what you want to hear anyway whether it's the truth or not so I'll say it to get you to shut the heck up with your babbling about tax dollars wasted. Regardless of what you think our boys are the Big Sandy Conference Champs and we did it with several holdbacks. Hope Coach can get a few more to hold back next year so we can make another run at it. But I'm willing to bet that every other team except Belfry had holdbacks on their team, and they probably had them with the exception that they were held back before the 6th grade. That's they way I feel about it, along with the fact that I still think that it's good for maturity both mental and physical and also the fact that it's really none of your business what people do with their own children.

Great post.....As far as I know and I have inside info Belfry had about 3 and one of those has a Sept. 20th birthday which made him start school really young. In fact he is a month older than my son who is a (true) 8th grader. It should be left up to the parents to decide and is no one business, it is their tax dollars too!
