Every team has students that either failed at a lower grade level or held back for (mental/emotional) development reasons. Some schools have a larger percentage of students. We all know that in some areas a number of players from a class are heldback. I am not saying Bell Co is one of those areas but let not kid ourselves either. We all know in some areas it is common practice.

I wish the best of luck to Bell and I look forward to seeing the how the freshman develop as Soph.

There is so many advantages to holding kids back. Not just in athletics. I held mine back and I don't regret it at all. The best thing I seen come out of holding him back was, it gave him a year to mature. He's at UK now and doing ok. If he would have went the year before he wouldn't have stayed. The maturity issue alone was worth holding him back.
