the kid skipped 8th grade...wasn't holding back. Went to SA with his brother. Principle offered him to come to school for 5 yrs not the parent


you can't repeat a grade at St. As or Chami for that matter. I highly doubt the principal offered to break the rule for him



Let me get this straight ... this player finished 7th grade and the following school year went to 9th grade in Saint Anthony's. Finished 9th grade and went on to 10th grade. So at this point this player repeats 10th grade, which would now bring him back in the grade he should have been in and continues on that track to this year's graduation. Understood he played all 5 years in but there are plenty of long island players who play varsity in 8th grade and will end up playing 5 years of high school ball. He seems to be of age for a varsity player...not a hold back....plus he skipped 8th grade. Lets move on!!!


This doesn't make sense. There are plenty of 8th graders who play JV and some who play varsity? Is the issue that he was a 9th grader and played 5 years? Like someone else said, how do kids who legitimately get left back get to play a 5th year?


Kids who are failing shouldn't be eligible to play in the first place.


Where did you read that?
