All I am saying BIGBLUE is that parents/coaches don't want/have kids holdback for middle school championships. If its for sports or academics. It usually is in the best interest for the kids. I am sorry for saying that you were dumb but I know more than a few holdbacks that hve gotten scholarships due to athletics that they may have not gotten after their JR year (year they were supposed to graduate). I would have rather been thrown into the real world at 19 rather than 17.

You actually called unbiased dumb, but thats ok. I agree with some kids are not ready for the real world at age 17 or 18. My point is this: I hate to here parents/coaches talk about holding little Johnny back just for sports. Let's be real look at all the holdbacks and how many really gets scholarships to play somewhere. Very few. I hate seeing coaches encourage holding a kid back KNOWING that this is will never make it through college. You see this all over the state where coaches will talk with parents about holding their child back, telling them you this will really help (to some degree it will) but deep down knowing this kid will never get a scholarship. All he is doing is making his program (middle school woop woop) look good. :Cheerlead
