Why would you hate that there would be an investigation? Who are you gonna call--"Ghost Busters"? The khsaa doesn't want to hear petty issues concerning middle school students who have not been promoted to the 9th grade-again each school follows their own site based policy concerning this matter. What part of following local administrative policy do you not understand? If you want to report schools following their own policy, the khsaa does not take phone calls or anonymous letters-it must be submitted with your signature. It's not who you know or who you got pull with-No rules have been broken! You have kicked Bell and Whitley out of your little conference so why are you concerned with the holdback issue since you don't play teams with holdbacks... Maybe this is a jealousy issue.

The kid at Whitley Co. that is repeating the 8th grade is risking his senior year in high school by doing so. He will have to go before the KHSAA before being granted eligibility his senior year, they may or may not let him play. There was a kid last year in a very similar circumstance and was not allowed to practice or play until the ruling was made after the season had started. I just can't see it being worth the gamble just to be an 8th grade star, although I feel the real reason goes back many years ago and is a whole another story. They think they have found a loophole in the rules by sending them back to the 7th grade(how a school can justify this is beyond me????????)during May of their first 8th grade year.
The rule on holdbacks as I understand is that they just cannot play the year they stay back, a rule that Corbin has had in place for many years.
