I understand that Clara Mitchell will not be playing for LCA this season. Can someone expand on this?

I spoke with the LCA assistant AD roughly a week ago and I spoke with the assistant girls coach and neither of them mentioned this.

That would be very surprising. It seemed to me she and Seamands had very good rapport.

I stand corrected! Mitchell is leaving LCA and attending East Jessamine.

That's what I was told as well. I just wanted to double-check before I posted. Thanks for confirming.

Why?

Tuition at LCA continues to rise, that could be the issue.

Dont let high costs be a reason for transferring...the KHSAA doesnt want to hear it....similar situation with a boy from LCA transferring out and he was rulled inelgible at all levels. Guess this young lady can count on losing this year of elgibility!

If we are thinking of the boy I am not sure if was necessarily for monetary purposes. Mitchells family doesnt have a whole lot of money, but i do believe she gets to play her senior year. She has a much needed scholorship to Illinois to play for.

Great Kid who is caught in a mess. If the KHSAA rule her eligible then it will continue with there total lack of inconsistancy. Look at the two boys who transferred to Scott County they were ruled ineligble after Bone Fide Change of Residence. I believe that ruling has been or will be reversed. Lets hope that the Kid comes out okay and that she gets her college scholorship.

Is she moving? If not, how is this similar?

I am not saying the situations are similiar. I am just pointing out how inconsistant the KHSAA is on there rulings.

Has there been a ruling on this case?

I too am curious about this as well- particularly after what I read in another post about other KHSAA cases and that the athletes were ruled inelgible. Unless she meets one of the criteria (death of a parent, divorce,etc. which I hope is not the case for her regardless of athletics) and it does not say anything about not being able to pay tuition, I don't see how she could be elgible to play. This could get very interesting...

 

Did she play for East Jess when she was in 8th grade?

Mitchell played at East as an eighth grader. Malik Stephenson left Catholic after freshman year and KHSAA never blinked an eye at ruling her eligible her sophomore year. Her reason for leaving Catholic: couldn't afford the tuition.
