Success on the JV level is important but it does not always carry over to the Varsity Level.Wilson Hall JV team is very good.There B team is even better.Coach Kinney is as good as they come in SCISA.The addition of a couple of the right kids into any Scisa program can make them title contenders.That just the way it is.Wilson Hall holds there kids back very early,They preach that.THERE JV TEAM IS FULL OF KIDS THAT SHOULD BE IN THE 10TH GRADE AND THERE B TEAM IS FULL OF 7 GRADERS THAT SHOULD BE IN THE 8TH.That is not against the rules that is a direction that they are taking.They will always be good as long as they can continue to convince parents to buy into that.

Ole Cavalier is correct that the WH JV & B teams are good, but he is not entirely correct about students being held back at WH. There are a few players who started preschool a year later than they were eligible to begin, usually those born in the late spring or in the summer, but certainly not enough to make a difference. There are not any that I'm aware of that were held back. Wilson Hall does not try to convince parents to "buy into" this.

I would never call out names over the internet but I can name eleven kids on the JV that have been held back. They go from great to very average without them.How about them Swampcats last night ?

ole cavalier, I'm impressed with your knowledge of our school, but you are leading the readers of this forum to believe that Wilson Hall retains a student for athletic purposes which is absolutely incorrect. A student who repeats a grade at Wilson Hall has been repeated only for academic reasons. Period. As a challenging academic school, students are evaluated for academic success and may be repeated in either preschool or kindergarten depending on their readiness for first grade. If we do not predict academic success and future graduation from our school then they are counseled out of the Wilson Hall program during middle school. Never is there an athletic thought process in determining what is right and appropriate for a child's education. Period.

Come on, you know how easy it is to predict athletic acheivement when kids are in preschool and kindergarten. |

Boy we are sensitive on that subject.I am not implying that WH has done anything wrong.ALL I am saying is that the kids on those teams are a year more mature than most of there competetion.At that age level when (males start into puberty)a year older makes a huge diffence. Scisa should allow 10th graders to play JV instead of watching from the sidelines on Friday night.That is what is happening thru out Scisa.There are a few exceptions but most of the kids are Juniors and Seniors getting all of the PT. I am very impressed with your knowledge of your school.Can you give this post the number of girls retained in the lower levels verus boys?

ole cavalier - yes I can. There is some difference but only because young girls typically mature more quickly than young boys - especially in the very early years of development. Hence, the figures will always show a bias toward the boys repeating.

Can you provide for us how many current males that have been held back or started late on the current B team and JV rosters ?

wh puts academics first every time...and you can bet that a couple of those swampcats last night would have been retained if there had been any hope for them academically. at least one of them, on the line, would have helped the barons out. |

Yeah your right,The same kids on the WH Varsity (now 5-5)last night were undefeated as a JV Team 4 years ago.The top three players from that JV team left there sophmore year.(playing public school ball).Ouchhhhh! That hurt.That shows you how fragile SCISA Athletics can be.

I still dont see how yall think WH could have beaten Colleton Prep whem CP was at full strength. All WH saw was a running game in the last two games CP ran a full out spread offense trowing the ball 30 times in one game!
