According to Yahoo News 19 year old Adam Sisson native of Virginia is 12 hours too old to play on his high school football team or any other sports for his senior year. Adam has dreamed of playing his senior year in high school since he was a little kid. The Sisson family has been fighting this case very hard. Adam was held back in the third grade due to a reading disorder. The Virginia school board has denied his plea saying that this is no excuse. Many people believe that this is just wrong!
This is just crazy! I could see if Adam was 20 years old he is after all only 12 hours too old I believe that this is a messed up situation. They should allow him to play he is not that old there are most likely kids that are the same age as him on the team but they were born just a few days earlier.
Why are they doing this? I have no clue but it is sad there are more kids than what people know of that are older than they are suppose to be because they were held back. I happen to be one of them kids and had a lot of friends that where as well. I got held back when I was in the first grade because I would not pay attention but I was not 19 my senior year either.
People can look at the two different ways that this is right or because he has an advantage because he is older. I don’t think that it is right I could see if he was 20 years old then maybe he has an advantage against the other kids. I hope they end up changing the decision!
