Yup. It’s a private school. They can do what they want.


WM is private? Because if a parent is paying for it, not the taxpayer, it would seem to be an accepted option, but then that would be Select under present rules

Of course, like welfare, leave it up to degenerates to take advantage of a situation.

Everybody here knows a guy that was slow, or went through a traumatic period mentally or physically and was held back

Obviously WM is a team of these special exceptions. Not a good thing, IMO

Like any loophole it gets abused. Perhaps if the state or the NFHS should address it - under the current laws kids must be 5 before sept 30 to start K. Any kid that would put them older than that age window as a senior should get varsity eligibility at such a time as they would not be outside that age window as a senior.

It’s legal but so is cheating on your spouse but that doesn’t mean it’s right.


Heck even travel ball limits the number of “grade exemptions” a team can have.

I feel bad for the kids whose parents don’t hold them back and they get out by a player 1-2 years older.

There was a time when football programs listed ages - maybe we need to go back to that.
