Every child in this thread is KHSAA eligible as far as I know. The Fords at South are still waiting to hear back I think.

I'm not sure anyone has mentioned eligibility or KHSAA? This has been all about where people live and go to school and tangentially how that has effected WC.

His dad is also paying $4000 in tuition. Superintendent Clayton and friends wasted a whole lot of time and peoples money for a state ruling in their favor that you call crap.

:sssh:

You are right lets give credit where credit is due. South has kids from Franklin and Greenwood all over their roster. Its not just Warren Central kids. By the way, I don't know if you saw in the paper but there has been a legal restriction on any county resident enrolling at the BGISD for over a year now.

Warren Central has McCracken

My bad I was thinking Wardlow too but he is not starting.

There are 3 kids of the starting 22 that didn't play football at BGJRHS

Looks like i plugged in Murfreesboro

They traveled 1 hour 33 minutes to McCallie. They will not be going to Cincinnatti as I said before.

Yes. Beef up is a relative term. We are talking beef up to trinity level. Right now they consistently have a too 5-6 schedule in the state already.

#1 Ohio is probably not going to happen since they are 18 miles from the Tennessee border. #2 the 17-18 schedule is already done for 99% of teams.

Jacksonville is planning to run the option from the flex. He wouldn't be a college qb in any other offense imo.

The transfer rule doesn't mention "districts" for a reason. They are creations of the school systems themselves and have nothing to do with the KHSAA. Private schools don't have "districts". Every school in the KHSAA plays by the same KHSAA rules which don't mention districts. Public schools can and do decide to impose extra rules and then some fans can and do decide to talk about unfair advantages and so forth. Looks like this girls parents know exactly what the book says.

Why do you all keep saying hybrid spread? What does that mean?

A lot of people don't want to understand. Publics have built in systemic advantages that they can choose to use or not. Privates have built in family support and achievement mentality advantages that almost all understand and utilize. All of the advantages that both sides possess fall INSIDE the broad allowances of the SAME rule book.

Congratulations

The most important step to building a program is getting players to buy into the (often new) coaching staff’s message. It’s a step every team has to take, but it’s a step players have to take for themselves. Coaches can’t do it for them, and they can’t succeed unless players do. But when that step is taken, it’s the moment coaches and players alike realize what is possible. Lebanon (Tenn.) High School head coach Sam Harp has been through that stage many times. Harp has won state titles, and he’s survived a winless season. Harp and his staff are working to rebuild Lebanon’s program, and the Blue Devils may have just reached their critical buy in point. Three of his seniors penned a letter to the rest of the team, pleading with them to pull together as one. Harp shared the letter with us, and can be read in its lengthy entirety below. To the 2016-2017 season Lebanon Blue Devils Football Team: As spring practice ends, we just wanted to give you guys one last push, preparing you all for this season. We wanted to write each of you a letter that we wish we had received when we were in your shoes. We hope that each of you take this message to heart. When we were underclassmen, no one offered us instruction on leadership, teamwork, or team building and it was definitely something we could have used. We expected and waited for seniors to take charge of the team. It never happened on a consistent front, and quite honestly, we really didn’t recognize the lack of direction or unity, until it was too late. After a very disappointing 3 years, we realized that changes had to occur, so we got together prior to our senior spring practice and drafted our own plan for success. We recognized the need for team unity and a collective direction. We also recognized we had to be in collective agreement on team goals. Each of us dedicated ourselves to reach those goals. Many of you might have noticed the intensity that we strived for at practice, but perhaps you didn’t realize that the majority of what we did was discussed and orchestrated. It didn’t just happen. Much of it was our formula for success and we highly recommend that you devise a similar plan for next season. Please know that you don’t have to be a Star, or a Senior, to set the pace for your team. You only have to care enough to step up and take action. There has to be a group willing to be the “Spark Plugs”. This group must be willing to find that extra bit of energy, every day, to bring out the excitement, desire, and the drive. To push everyone to excel. Be that person! Then grow that spark until it ignites everyone, all the way down to the incoming freshman! No matter what, don’t lay back and wait for someone else or a Coach, to set the team’s intensity. If you wait for someone to take charge, you could easily find yourselves still waiting at the end of your season. We have experienced this for the last three years and we wouldn’t wish it on anybody. And above all, don’t let anyone become isolated, encourage everyone, develop everyone’s confidence and abilities. Remember: Iron sharpens Iron, Men sharpen Men. As a team, get together, set goals, encourage each other daily, push each other, challenge each other, call, text, hang out, do thing together, and build bonds that will go farther than just football. This bond will create within each of you, the desire to give all you have, to play for the guy beside you and to push yourself beyond imagination, for the team’s benefit. The results of unity and team building can be amazing. Also, be mindful of resentments, disagreements, and destructive situations. Handle them as a group, get them resolved, be in agreement and keep the team’s welfare as a priority. We set our goals and worked when no one else was working. We got together and ran when we didn’t have to. We set lifted when it would have been easier to rest. We didn’t wait for structured time with the coaches to workout and practice. We decided that we wanted to excel not only on the football field, but also in the classroom and all around campus. We decided that people would know that there was something different about our group, not only from wins and loses, but how we conduct ourselves. You all can do the same and you can be better. Remember, if you don’t set goals, you will most likely achieve just what you set out for – nothing! Remind yourselves daily, how many other average high school athletes just finished practice like you did and came home to relax and watch TV or play video games. Then ask yourself if you are content with being average? If not, use this time to push yourself to do something, to be better. Keep positive attitudes no matter the situation. Attitude is everything. A bad attitude is a cancer, at first sight of a bad attitude it is the team’s job to eliminate it. We also want to stress to you all how fast this time will fly by. You hear adults say all the time “I’d give anything if i could just strap up one last time.” As upcoming seniors we will soon be able to agree with how true this is! And, now as we are becoming a bunch of “Has Been’s” we can honestly say your high school football career is an experience that should never be taken for granted. You will never get a single day back. Each day you should value your effort as an accomplishment or a failure. As this season evolves, please don’t have an attitude that all you have to do is survive, “I’m not equipped to lead”, or “all I have to do is excel at my position”. The team is too important to let any of these attitudes cripple it. Don’t rely on the Coaches to develop your team’s personality, or your team’s intensity. Don’t let yourself begin to think from a singular viewpoint, teams win, individuals don’t. Make up your minds TODAY, that you will build upon what we accomplish this season. We expect bigger and better things from you than what we achieve! It is on your shoulders to take this program above and beyond where we leave it. To the Seniors coming after us: it’s time to step up and set an example for the younger guys in everything you do, on and off the field. Push yourselves to the limits every day. Play the sport everyday as if it is a blessing and an honor, because trust us it is. Never complain about being pushed to work hard. The Coaches will push you to your limits that’s there job, but they will never get the performance you’re capable of, your 100%, unless you are willing to sell-out for your team’s goals. Now is the time to decide where our team will go. Pick up the intensity even more. Decide how you want to be remembered. This is a new season, this is our year, time to make up our minds. We have to decide to be the best, if someone doesn’t buy in then they can get out of the way becuase someone who has the desire will step up. Know in your heart that you have pushed yourself to your limits so that when this season is over you will be able to say you had no regrets. I promise you the times you spend with your teammates working sweating, sharing in the pain and sharing in the success – are more memorable than any other times that you will experience in your high school careers. We feel like this season we will set the bar pretty high, but we want the rest of you to finish far beyond what we achieve. If any of the Seniors get the opportunity to come back to be at your games, we want to stand with you on the sidelines and be proud of your accomplishments. We want to be able to look you in the eyes, after a game and know what all you have sacrificed to be there. Believe me, we’ll know by watching if you were satisfied with average or if you have chosen to take the team and program to new heights. This year will be a great one, each of you will play a vital role in our success, and for that we sincerely thank you. However, we challenge each of you to step up now and continue the New Lebanon Dynasty. And the only way you can do this is by unity, working harder, pushing each other, fighting for the guy next to you. Set high goals and achieve them by not accepting mediocrity within yourself or your teammates. The time flies by, enjoy every second of it, and make it count. Let’s make this team one that will not be forgotten. You will always be a Blue Devil, we love yall now, BDP!!! Your 2016-2017 Senior Lineman Nick Anderson Hayden Hittle J.W. Baird Coaches looking to build a program and transform their culture should read this – FootballScoop

High School coach: “I’m one parent away from being unemployed” – FootballScoop One of the fundamental truths of the coaching profession, regardless of sport, is that it’s impossible to make everyone (players, parents, etc.) happy. That feeling often leads to coaches believe that they’re constantly “one parent away from being unemployed”. I’ve heard the same sentiment from a number of coaches over the years. That notion brings me to a story out of Montana from the Independent Record involving a girl’s soccer coach who was recently fired in a rather odd fashion. Nan Brisko had just wrapped up her first season leading the Capital HS (MT) girl’s soccer program when a few parents decided they weren’t happy with the way the young coach was running the program, so they were going to raise a fuss. The Helena School, like many districts, has a procedure in place to address initial concerns and complaints by first bringing them to the coach, and after that issues can be brought to the principal, then athletic director, and finally, to the superintendent. However, in this instance, no issues were brought to the coaching staff during the season, but a few weeks after the state tournament they banded together to meet with the prinicpal with the goal of not renewing the contract of Brisko. Instead of meeting in private meetings with the principal, the group refused to be heard unless they were heard as a group. Meanwhile, the athletic director recommended coach Brisko for a contract renewal. Disgruntled parents then decided to go beyond the coach, principal, and AD and went to the superintendent, who told them the same thing: “It’s standard procedure to meet with parents individually”. Still, they refused, saying they wanted to meet as a unified group to voice their concerns. Since that didn’t work, they sent a letter directly to the school board asking for intervention, citing “bullying and intimidating conduct,” which prompted an investigation into coach Brisko that cost the school district over $12,600. That investigation concluded no misconduct by coach Brisko. Somehow, the school board chair called a special meeting to address the growing issue…and the board then voted to fire Brisko by a vote of 5-3. How does that happen? Coaches at the school, and in the surrounding area told the Independent Record about how worried they are about the precedent this sends to their kids, and the parents in the community. After the decision was handed down, a number of coaches felt so strongly about the wrong precedent that it set that they handed in their letters of resignation. Pat Murphy spent 11 seasons leading the Capital HS football program before stepping down after a state title in 2014, and he had the following to say about the controversy. “Being around so many different districts and coaching for 31 years, they should’ve probably not gone that far and taken it to the school board. It just opens up a new can of worms,” he said. “The athletic director is there for a reason, and that should be your last stop. You would think you’d want your school board’s concern to be focused on academics, and let the athletic director and other administration deal with those issues. “I’ve worked for four other districts. I worked for a small school where it kind of broke down like that years ago, and that’s what everybody just did was go to the school board. If there’s a protocol in place, you’ve gotta stick to that. If you don’t, the school board had better be ready. Because the parents will circumvent the coach and just go straight to the top of the chain of command.” There are a few good lessons in here for high school coaches; 1) Know what your district procedures are for dealing with disgruntled and upset parents. 2) Make sure your principal and athletic director are on board with those procedures and have your back and 3) develop and maintain a good working relationship with the people on your school board just in case.

Yeah, he goes places and wins more than they were winning before. People hate that.:laugh:
