Jeffersonville has lost several outstanding football athletes to Louisville private schools:

 

.

 

If the students were not enrolled in high school how can you lose something you do not possess?

 

I think the students belong to their families. Does a private high school "lose" a student who attended a private grade school to a public high school if they choose to attend one (as many do)? NO. The family makes a decision.

When would this go into effect?

So Pete if the premise of your argument is that Jeff High lost student that "belonged" to them because of where they and their families lived now many athletes that "belonged" to schools like Iroquois, Eastern, Shawnee etc. been lost to Manual or Male because their parents, like the parents of the students you mentioned, CHOSE to send their children to a school outside their resides district.

 

There is nothing illegal about this and in fact I am told that in areas that border West Virginia there are "gasp" public schools that allow students from WV to attend and play sports.

When would this go into effect?

 

It still has a long way to go before it goes into effect.

I don't think they are saying the kids belong to them but that they are apart of their community and would like to see them play at their community school. My question is why are T and X recruiting these kids? Why would you have a kid on a recruiting trip to your state title game? Did they also take Ed Wright to their debate teams meet?

 

What they are doing may be with in the KHSSA "rules" but is it really ethical? You guys say the title will be watered down but after reading the email Pete posted you may come to the conclusion that X and T's titles are a bit tainted.

Pete...what do you want us to say? If anything illegal has transpired, why was not action taken? Why weren't the existing channels utilized? At the time the boys you mention were choosing their schools, there was no issue with out-of-state students attending Trinity, X or any other private school, nor with playing on the teams those schools.

 

For the record, I thought Brian Brohm was the reason we won those championships! Now it was Cruz May?! :lol: Cruz was an OUTSTANDING player, but funny no one credited him with our success when he was playing in the Brohm era! :lol:

 

I'll say this...the thing I left out of my post above, NO one OWNS my kids, except me! I will NEVER support the idea that kids that live in a certain area "belong" to a certain school. NEVER.

 

And that means you would not play by the rules that the public schools had too, so you are teaching your kids that it is ok to not play by the rules as long as no one says anything. But you already said that it is a even playing feild, make up your mind. Play by the the rules or dont, I like I have said and no replys, the championship of kentucky has already been cheapen. Just admit that you guys go to a another state and try to get athletes to come and play for you. And tell me in the same breath that your better because of your coaches and work harder. If that is true have coach Beaty go to Butler and win a championship or go to Ballard, bet it would not happen you know why, he would lose to Trinity. BECAUSE YOU DONT PLAY BY THE SAME RULES. Show me a rule where Male or Manual can go over to Indiana or oldham county to get athelets, but it is fair for you. You want to make it fair. Split the catholic grade schools up equally and have a certain number go to X or T or Holy cross and then stay within Jefferson county. You do that one thing, and you wont because you and your school knows if you did you would lose, And Prop 20 would be no longer a question. But you wont, why should the majority have to change to rules for a few, Why dont X T and the SH, LEX Cath, just say ok we will stay within jefferson county or lex. because they know if they lived by the same rules as the Males and Manuals then they would not Win. It would make too much sense for a few schools to change, So it will never happen, and I know and live in reality unlike you guys wont admit it. just admit that you dont play by the same rules.

When will someone from Manual admit that they don't play by same rules as most other public schools????

#1, we play by the rules. We play by the rules that are set forth by the KHSAA for ALL schools. Because some schools choose to limit their drawing power, does not make the fact that we don't, illegal.

 

#2, I did not ever say we worked HARDER. I said we work hard. YOU assume I meant harder.

 

#3, YOUR OWN SCHOOL does not live under the same set of admission standards as the rest of the state do. YOUR OWN SCHOOL is even MORE selective in their admission of students than Trinity or X!

 

#4, IF improprieties have occured, WHY haven't they been reported? Punish the offenders. Elimination of your competition, including those who ARE playing by the rules is not in any way, shape or form a fair solution to anyone.

Pete, I had a little trouble following what you said, but I've tried to interpret what you meant to say. If I understand what you are saying, your argument is that Non Kentucky residents should not be able to play for Kentucky schools. I would disagree with you, but that is one possibility for a rule the KHSAA could pass. As of right now out of state players can play in Kentucky. They could play for Male or Manual IF male or Manual chose to accept them. The rules are the same for everyone.

Pete W, I agree. All Tell. I also agree

You are wrong Manual and male or any other JCPS can not take students outside of there districts

Votes will be exchanged when the BOC votes. Certain members of the BOC come from areas that could be hurt by Proposal 3.

Hello Manual would love to take kids from other countys or states for that matter BUT they CANT, Why because it is against the rules.

I don't recall Highlands defeating St. X in the playoffs. The ones that voted for this proposal will take the stance that it is simply another class of playoffs like the classes in football. You do not expect Beechwood to compete with St. X nor do you belittle their state title because they did not beat St. X. It is looked at as a state title.

Covington Holy Cross and New Cath have such and advantage over Beechwood and Danville.

 

There are 16 total private football schools in state. 12 of 16 are A and AA.

 

Public schools are talking about fair play. But I guess that only counts if you go to a public school. Private schools aren't allowed those freedoms. Hypocrites.

When will someone from Manual admit that they don't play by same rules as most other public schools????

I will pull a private response. What rule are we breaking and how come no one has turned us in, so we are playing by the rules. If no one turns you in it is ok.
