[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of a 16 year old senior, that's very odd to me. Kids turn 17 as juniors.

Regardless, its within the VHSL rules to reclass up until the age cutoff so anyone can choose to do it, if they want to. [/quote]

I turned 17 in October my senior year.[/quote]
I turned 17 November 17th of my senior year and still played D1 football.

I can understand if a kid has a Nov, Dec, October birthday making them 17 their senior year reclassing for sports, but I think it’s f’d up that kids beyond that have to just to compete.  However, we’ve gotten to that point. [/quote]

Whatever circumstances put you at turning 17, instead of 18, your senior year are a thing of the past. The vast majority of kids turn 18 sometime between the summer before and the summer after their senior year, making someone who turns 19 during that time period a year older, but very rarely two years older. Don’t mistake your very rare situation as the norm; it’s the exception.[/quote]

"Don’t mistake your very rare situation as the norm; it’s the exception" can be said about 99% of the posts/opinions on this thread. [/quote]

Sort of...but PP is empirically correct.  90% of all HS Seniors turn 18 between August before senior year and June of senior year.

There is one poster that is very caught up in trying to claim a 19 year old double-reclassed, when in fact that's just not empirically the case whatsoever.

I also turned 17 in late Fall of my senior year, and even back in the 1980s I was a complete outlier.  Easily, the youngest kid in my grade that year.[/quote]
