A few weeks ago there was a post in regards to parents holding their kids back a year in hopes of them being more competitive in High School Athletics. There were many mixed feelings on the practice of doing such a thing. The topic was however noteworthy and worth discussion. There is something I would like some clarification on though. I spoke to a father from Minnesota who has a 13 year old son. He claims that his son wrestled varsity in High School as a 7th grader and is currently doing so as an 8th grader this year. I questioned him about his eligibility once in High School and he said that he would be able to compete at the Varsity level his entire tenure at that school. Is this guy for real? Do any other states allow this to happen? Someone please try to help me out.
