June 16, 201115 yr It's public record why he left right? I wondered what was his Dad's reaction was when his son was denied by his Alma Mater in Highlands! I would say it had to be a pretty bad situation for Highlands to turn this kid down. Ft Thomas loves tuition students!!! $$$$$$ The story I got from the Hills is that staying at Walton wasn't an option.

I would say it had to be a pretty bad situation for Highlands to turn this kid down. Ft Thomas loves tuition students!!! $$$$$$ The story I got from the Hills is that staying at Walton wasn't an option. The fact that staying at WV wasn't an option has already been stated. And your comment about "Dad's reaction" is really not germaine to this thread--any time a kid has to change schools is obviously tough on everyone: student, family, etc. So stating the obvious provides nothing worthwhile to this discussion. So if you're intention is to poke this kid's father or family--find another forum. If you have something to contribute--please do so. Otherwise, start a thread and see if anyone is interested in responding to you. I'm not interested in hanging around to see what other barbs you can cast. Sounds to me like you are getting too much enjoyment from a tough situation. Remember--the article was printed for the purpose of acknowledging the achievements of a baseball player who's had to overcome the adversity of changing schools mid-year.
June 16, 201115 yr The important leason is overcoming obsticles. The young man has taken a very tough situation and keep moving forward. That is not always easy to do.

Believe it or not, Highlands is not Utopia for all and he did not try to get into Highlands.
June 16, 201115 yr Believe it or not, Highlands is not Utopia for all and he did not try to get into Highlands. I also heard the Birds wanted no part of the situation..
June 16, 201115 yr I am a little confused on this whole issue. I am well aware that he was not permitted to stay at WV. According to this thread, his family moved from Walton to a home in Boone County, yet his siblings stayed at WV and his dad continued to coach the girls basketball team. I understand the change of residence thing, but how in the world did he end up being eligible almost right away at NCC since they did not move to Campbell County? Perhaps someone can fill in the gaps for me so that I can understand a little better. Could my son play football or basketball at Highlands his senior year until the Christmas break and then transfer to Newport Central Catholic or Brossart and play baseball simply by me changing the address at which I receive my mail? Or were the extenuating circumstances of the situation what resulted in him being eligible to play right away?
June 16, 201115 yr This would be a good thread to close. It's apparent many have no idea how or why this transfer took place, and it doesn't need to be brought up here. Good luck to the Breds, bring another title back to NKY.
June 16, 201115 yr Author Legally speaking it is public record was my point. I know what you were asking. I still think it's "no."

June 16, 201115 yr He was kicked out of school and then he goes somewhere else to play? Raises many questions in my opinion with present KHSAA rules. I think it might help that Schulkens is in charge of 9th Region.
June 16, 201115 yr I know what you were asking. I still think it's "no." Gotcha. I thought it still was. I knew it was at one point.
