A lot of their titles were when they played no one, now they’re in a more competitive division. Still very good.

This is primarily bullshite. They were in a smaller division because they are a small school. They would go outta state and play other state's good teams and beat the hell outta everybody.

They were the team that went to Hoover and beat them when the stupid show was on MTV.

They upped their classification to play bigger teams but eventually were forced by rule to play within their actual classification.

Without question. I turned 18 in February my senior year and the vast majority of SR football players were older than me.

Could it be that the school academic standards may have been a bit too much for some of them, rather than a deliberate plot to hold them back.

But, the 19 years old by 1 Sept ineligible rule applies to all LHSAA schools public and private, like a lot of other states. So, holding them back at a younger age should probably be done with caution in case they slip up again later on and lose eligibility by their senior year. Plus, if you were born in February, that includes 5+ months of birthdays within your academic year who could have been older than you without ever having been held back.
