1) nothing to do with athletics. I have a daughter.
2) would not be 19 during Sr year. Would graduate HS and start college at 18 like the vast majority of other kids in Louisiana and like other kids in 42 other states.
The Sept 30 cutoff by Louisiana is antiquated. Kindergarten is not the same as it was when the cutoff was set and the academic calendar starts weeks earlier also.
It would make sense that cutoff date would change to reflect those changes but in Louisiana they have not.

Just hire a tutor for those travel ball trips. Once he gets drafted, he won't have to worry about SAT scores anyway.

Ohhhh.... You're talking about those poor kids that unfortunately get passed on bad genes and end up having to repeat Kindergarten.... Yeah what about that again?

I know too many parents that redshirted their kids for bullshite reason and celebrate all their kids awards in 2nd and 3rd grade. No shite your kids seems advanced around kids a whole year young plus fact they will be 19 graduating high school. Loser parents.
Thankfully, I don't have kids so it doesn't effect me. But, it's done for sports, and all the parents in the stands can see through the bullshite.

My nephew's birthday is Oct 1, the day after the cutoff. His parents held him back to the next year, no pushback from the school. Another kid in his class, a girl, had the same birthday and her parents did the same thing. Both just finished 8th grade and doing great. Both tallest in the class instead of shortest, both making straight A's and both socially well-adjusted. I wouldn't hold a kid back if they're already one of the oldest in the class, but if it's borderline, waiting has a lot of advantages. And I wouldn't make them repeat a grade, it's better to just wait a year to start school.
My brother graduated HS at a young 17, and it wasn't an issue until he got to college, where he struggled the first year due to immaturity.

Red shirted all 3 of mine and got 3 athletic scholarships. I loved watching my 2 sons run through those little arm tackles from those scrawny kids. 
J/k did I do it right

We didn't even have kindergarten. I started 1st grade at age 5 with a December birthday. Kicked arse all the way through school with no problem.
I would have been pissed off if my parents had held me out another year. Being stuck in high school and knowing I could have already graduated would suck hard.

I would do it. I graduated high school at 17 and started college at 17. In my opinion I was behind athletically and academically. That extra year would have done wonders for each. I am going to do it for my son who's b- day is mid May. He will turn 19 the summer before his freshman year in college.

I am. But the local school is trying to refuse.
The question was how to. I don't want to send her to private K or private pre-K this year and then have the local public school insist on putting her into first grade next year since K isn't mandatory.

Not true at all. You can't turn 19 before September 1st. If it's later than that, you're fine. Typically holdback in 5th grade because they changed the rules. Starting in 6th grade you have 7 years left to play sports. So you holdback in the 5th if you're going to do it. It used to be 8th grade. Happens every single year.
