[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I'm understanding the physical differences in the ages that is being described , but is this ( the no holdback rule) something that has just recently been initiated into the Pikeville and Pike County school systems, because I can think of many kids that are playing right now or have played at not only Pikeville but at several Pike County schools that have been held back at some point and time? I named two as examples because they were both held back at some point in their careers.

I do realize that one way around this issue is to not start a child in school until the latest date possible, and still retain eligibility during their senior seasons. Tell me what would be the difference?

Thats what Im doing with my son. And thats the easy way to get around it to be honest. The School System cant force your child to go to school if you dont think there ready.
