I'd hate to think someone would hold their kid back a year with the intention of them being more impactful on a high school football team. I doubt this has any merit to it whatsoever.

I know of a parent that held both their kids backs due to sports, they should have graduated last year. They don't go to any of the schools mentioned in this thread, but I know for a fact it does happen. At the time they told me it was for academics, but I knew better. Both kids were straight A students. So to think it doesn't happen, you would be wrong.

I'm sure it does happen. I just couldn't steal away the part of the kids life that they are becoming their own men and can make their own choices in life to tickle my own fancy and watch them play football one more year. Not like they have a choice what happens to them when they are young.

Oh I agree, they wanted me to do the same thing I refused to so. It was all in hopes of getting scholarships. One got one and the other is being looked at.

Laying all bull aside, being 19 as a senior is a huge advantage over 17 year old seniors. Ive talked to many people from Hartsville and had known folks over there. Its a football minded town meaning alot of parent hold their kids back. Its legal to turn 19 after the season starts. Im not trying to say theres anything wrong with it. Im just stating a fact that alot of our seniors are 17 and ld wager TCs are gonna be 19 when they are seniors. Makes a huge difference.

Yes, you can hold your kid out of kindergarten until they are 7 in TC. But I don't think we have any 19-year-old seniors this year. I'm sure most of TC seniors are only 17 years old. In the future yea, this will be true with some of the kids but that be in the next 10 years a lot of parents held their kids back from starting school until they were 6 not because of sports but because of how hard TC schools are now.

To be honest some parents are doing this for football I know at least is trying to hold his kid back for football.

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
