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.

thank you for being willing to admit it was for sports .

your right it is the parents business what they do with their children, however i along with everybody else is sick and tired of the lame excuses why they do it.when i have to listen to it over and over then it becomes my business,or you got this hulking 15 yr old blasting a 13yr old when the 15 yr old has no business being held back in the first place then yeah that's my business too.

and about the wasted tax dollars what about the people that have no kids i bet they like paying for a second year.

how can you expect a kid to mature when they are with kids less mature then they are all day?that is just a excuse.

oh yeah studies show that kids that are held back have the greater drop out rates than ones that don't get held back.thats got to be real good for the maturity of a child. and before anyone starts hollering weres the proof ,go sit in a inservice meeting for 8 hrs and hear it for yourself from people are smarter than all of us.
