Ddi he get left back or start school late?
I graduated high school only 3 months past my 17th birthday; nobody cared about it then, when I was in college and I have never given it much thought. Prior to the internet, nobody knew anyone's birthday and for the most part could care less.
Maton is not the first 19 year old high school athlete and want be the last, roughly 7 percent U.S. schoolers graduate at age 19 and I suspect that percentage is nearly double for star athletes. I understand the concern when it comes to class records or comparing athletes, but as long as he is competing within the rules...get over it.
