I think if a school wants to retire a number/jersey they should.

 

Agreed.

I think they should, but my question would be, is that number retired program-wide? Meaning, could a player on the freshman team wear a retired number until they reach the varsity level?

Are their numbers still worn?

 

No, Both numbers and jerseys retired.

 

Neither Nathan's #22, nor Justin's 35 are worn by anyone in the BOYS program.

 

They are worn by the members of the Girls program.

I would say never by any level. Because usually our varsity jerseys get passed down to JV and Freshman teams. And you don’t want someone wearing #25 all the way through Fresh and JV and then have to change on varsity.

I think you can retire jerseys to people of great status or honor. But only retire the number if they win Mr. Baksetball or in the Seiters’ unique case.

Pendleton County has 6 boys numbers retired:

 

#20 3181 career points

#22 first D1 player

#23 career leader in wins, assists

#30 all American at Transy

#31 first KY IN All Star, 3 NCAA Tournaments

#52 drafted by Phoenix Suns

My husband had his # and jersey retired from his high school. It was a great honor.

#11 will be on that list one day.

I'm of the believe of retire the jersey not the number and I think it needs to be a significant accomplishment. Mr. Basketball, Schools all time leading scorer, not just he/she scored 1000 points. How did you impact the game outside of just your community. Just my opinion though.

Exactly. Not just go by what they did on the floor, but off the floor as well. Never wearing a number again or having it hang up forever is a huge deal.

Some Jersey numbers are still worn in Basketball. Highlands Football has only Two retired that I'm aware of and both of them don't get worn. Pretty sure but not Positive!
