For all of you who say the young men have been treated unfairly I have one question I want you to answer honestly.

 

Had they decided to enroll at Lexington Catholic or Lexington Christian rather then Scott County would you still be claiming they had been treated unfairly?

 

That may make a good poll.

And a very good point as well.

I would like to speak to the kids who grew up in Scott County and could be losing their positions due to these transfers. How do they feel about the kids coming into their program?

I just so happened to watch the 27 News out of Lexington, it's the only Lexington news station we get up here in NKY, and they showed highlights of the State High School AAU tournament. Well actually, they only showed one game....Scott County versus Rockcastle County. Obviously when I heard Rockcastle County, I paid attention.....LOL.

 

Well to make a long story short, Euton and Jackson were playing for Scott County. I knew it wouldn't be a score that I'd like and it wasn't.....Rockcastle County got doubled up....102-51. Euton looked to have had a pretty good game and possibly a dunk....I could be wrong on that final point.

Summer ball is pretty much unregulated...

Sounds like they need to lace them up and earn their spot like varsity players all over the state do every November!

That is a good question...:thumb:

 

Personally I feel as far as the Euton kid goes It wouldn't bother me because of his Dads job status...

Shotwell attended Scott CO, went to LCA for a year, then came back to Sc this year. Was ruled ineligible. Why should those two be eligible but nobody is saying he should? Ah the politics involved in basketball. I guess only a high profile kid, one of whom is a UK recruit, should get special priveleges?

 

We both are entitled to our opinions and I respect yours since you normally make educated posts but this is one OUTCOME we'll disagree on.

 

I've spoken with several coaches in the past two days and all have said the same thing: "Euton's father and Jackson both broke the rules with their comments. It says in the bylaws that no student athlete can transfer schools in whole or partly because of athletics."

 

Like it or not, those are the facts and even if appealed, the coaches I've spoken with have said it will be shot down as it is frowned upon very much so by coaches and schools on the BOC.

 

 

It is my understanding, correct me if I am wrong, that Shotwell did not change residence. I don't know the situation enough to argue about it. I would imagine an argument for him being eligible would have to do with not being able to afford LCA.

Just for the record I asked the following question about a year ago of a BOC member.

 

Student attends Campbell County as a freshmen yet their house is across the street from Bishop Brossart.

 

Their sophomore year, they want to attend Brossart.

 

Without a legit change of residence, they would be ineligible.

I assume you would also add that "if they played varsity...."

What consitutues a legit chance of residence when transferring TO a school whose district you already live in?

Don't remember.

The "varsity" part has to be in there for it to be true. Otherwise, the kid is immediately eligible.

Playing varsity or not, might be irrelevant. Not sure, but don't really know why varsity is the key.

Can a kid play JV for a team one year and not play varsity and then transfer to another school and be eligible right away?

Ring up the KHSAA website and you'll see that the "varsity" aspect is NOT irrelevant. If you havent played ANY varsity sport yet, you can switch every year and be eligible immediately.

 

LMB - yes as long as he has played NO varsity sport at all. We see that all the time.
