Straitshooter Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Let the kids play! The Mackes live in Ft Thomas and it should be a no brainer. They were not happy with the academics at HC and decided to put their kids back in Ft Thomas schools where they attended since Kindergarten. If you truly transfer because of academics, then you shouldn't mind sitting out a year of athletics. That's the price to pay sometimes to get a better education. KHSAA allowing kids to play JV and practice is a great move on their part. It benefits the kids and the programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nothing to do with academics and they never moved so not clearing is the right thing to do. I wish they would do it more often and maybe a lot of this would go away and make it an even playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach34 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 These transfers are getting out of control and the state needs to step in and do something. I have to say I'm glad they finally said enough is enough in this case. HOWEVER, only time will tell if they stick to their guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessinfo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 She obviously knows what buttons to push. Yep........use the word "bullying" in a school and you can get your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Both Spencer Macke( Highlands) and Ty Houston( Cooper) families suing KHSAA after leaving Holy Cross last year! Both tried to transfer to schools listed and got denied!! What are your thoughts on this? So it sounds like Houston's family is not suing, based on the posts from @SSC and @Lawnboy13. Can you give us any info on what you have heard about the Macke suit, MU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this the same person that broke the news scandal on a certain baseball team a few years back?? I guess time does heal all wounds. I am sure all stops will be pulled to try to get their way, but I hope that KHSAA digs in and stands their ground on this!! There is more than meets the eye test with this one.

Otherwise, the Houston girl would have transferred too. I just think it is unfortunate the kids are put through this by their parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKMustangFan Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 For goodness sakes, it's high school sports. Who cares? The whole ordeal of having to sit out a year in high school is just absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allsport71 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The problem seems to be the khsaa is very inconsistent in their ruling, why get tuff now, let the the kids play and move on, a real head scratcher is a young man from Isiral moved to Covington and is at Holmes and they can't get him cleared, never bounced a ball the United States. I am sure the Macke's had their reason for going back to Highlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a kid wants to play somewhere else let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
