He could possibly be back for the playoffs if his doctor releases him. He will be 9 weeks post surgery at that time.

I believe the 1st playoff games are October 16th.

I certainly hope he has speedy recovery but if he is as good as I'm reading on this site then I hope he doenst comeback too early. Middle school seems huge now but when Dudley gets him next year he will not be sorry if he had to miss the playoffs, if that is what happens.

That goes both ways too J. Half of our starters are 7th graders also. One good thing for me is that since my son is an 8th grader I won't have to make that perilous journey to Bobcat land next year.

Is 32 just a 7th grader or going to hold back?

#32 is an 8th grader. He just turned 14 in August.

Your math is correct on the age limit, but if plans on holding back next year and he is in the 8th grade now, he would have to fail the 8th grade this year legitimately or have his parents pull him out of 8th grade now and put him back in 7th grade. If a child passes the 8th grade he cannot repeat the 8th grade again without penality of losing a year of eligibility in high school. At least that was what the KHSAA rep. told me 2yrs ago.

they can't repeat 8th if they compete in high school athletics. You can't repeat any year in varsity athletics. You can hold back in 8th but it has to be a principal's decision because of maturity or grades.

There are ways around it. It could be questioned whether or not it's moral or ethical, but IMO I believe that it should be up to the parent's whether or not they hold their child back. I don't think a child should be able to participate at the same grade level two years in a row. But, if you want to hold your child back and he/she falls under the age requirements for eligibility their senior year I think it should be the parents decision.

This is about 99% of how I understand it. The part I think might be incorrect is I believe it is a district by district policy on if you can retain a student past an issue of grades.
As far as this year's 8th graders getting playing time next year on the varisty goes I am not sure about that. I am sure they will get some special teams work and maybe a little spot duty. From what I was told Hilton does not like to play players early to give them time to develop. I have also heard that there are very few 8th graders on the 8th grade team that are starting. Most of that team is 7th graders.

Wrong he is a 7th grader.

In that case, if my math skills are still functional, he would turn 15 in August of his 7th grade next year if he repeats again. That also means he would turn "20" in August of his SR year. I'm not so sure that will work.. Or will it? I thought you couldn't be 19 before Aug 1st on your SR year.

He is in the 8th grade at Page School Center. He turned 14 in August. I know.

I assume the smile means you know why some kids stay back even when talented. Also just because the kid is in the 8th grade does not mean he will be a freshman next year. Maybe he will be and maybe he wont.
