While I agree holding back for sports is usually dumb give it a break. They are eligible. As long as you don't turn 19 before the start of your senior year then your eligible. So no rules broken. Refs play no role in holdbacks or enforcing that rule. Middle school success obviously doesn't translate to high school or these holdbacks would always win state titles. It all equals out at the end so just let it play out.
