No doubt that the team with 19 year olds is going to dominate the team with 17 year olds 90% of the time. This makes all the difference in the world in high school football. Like the other posters said, though, it’s not illegal so the schools that make a concerted effort to have a bunch of old football players are going to win.

Thank you.......and for the poster that said it had a soccer mom feel to it. Lol Well I assure you that you couldn't be further from the truth. 30 year Army combat Vet. here. Played for Army back several years ago. Lol Just wanting some dialogue here is all. Thank you for your responses. Have been involved in football for several years.....just don't like how some things have went in regards to playing footsy with the rules is all. Again......NEVER once wanted to give the impression that someone couldn't hold back their kid. Just have questions about the culture of some schools holding back GROUPS of kids is all. Times have change I guess. Just didn't seem to happen that often when I was growing up I guess. My opinion is a kid held back should lose a year of eligibility in high school. Just don't remember the vast number of kids being held back when I was growing up. Thanks again for the educated responses.
