HooverOutlaw Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 This kid was going to a private school quit then wanted to attend his local public school then the AHSAA said no because of overlapping boundaries. So he moved to Navarre/Fort Walton beach area. This is just another example of how to stop transfers https://www.al.com/highschoolsports/2021/08/florida-4-star-2022-lb-commit-shemar-james-leaving-faith-academy.html Story of him going to Florida https://www.al.com/highschoolsports/2021/08/florida-4-star-lb-commit-shemar-james-will-play-final-season-in-florida.html It is called smart leadership something the GHSA lacks. The kid goes straight to the AHSAA ask if it is ok to transfer to Blount they tell him no. Unlike the GHSA who puts it on the schools. This could have been another Valdosta mess. But one phone call to the Ahsaa ended a possible major problem. GHSA are lazy and incompetent. They want the schools to do their job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A student-athlete should never be prohibited from attending their local high school. At worst, they should be forced to sit out the first 30 days of their respective sport's season if they xfer in from another school. Those rules are nuts in this day and age. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left a private school to go to a Public one.... But got denied because of Overlapping Boundaries? What the actual Fuck... It's Private to Public transfer... The GHSA wouldn't say No to that because it's Private to Public and Privates don't have a defined School Zone in Georgia.... Like Publics do.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have told you guys for years Alabama does not put up with that Atlanta metro wild west stuff. Privates have defined boundaries. Normally they are much bigger than public schools. He could attend the school but not play sports. Transferring in Alabama unless you are a military kid is a complicated deal it starts with a bonafide move and video proof. The AHSAA move very slow doing investigations if something is questioned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooverOutlaw Posted August 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Being legal to attend a school and being legal by the AHSAA to play sports are 2 different issues. Larry and others just assume Alabama is like Atlanta this proves my point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being legal to attend the school is a local school decision. Being legal to play sports is a AHSAA decision at that school. Hoover had a track kid move in he left his school on some kind of probation the AHSAA said he was not legal he attended school but played no sports.

If I pay taxes in a town, how can my kids be prohibited from playing sports at their local, public school? Especially, if the xfer back wasn't athletics-related. Can't be legal. I'm surprised those rules haven't been challenged yet. I'd think that a recent law school grad could win that case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are legal to attend the school because you live in the school zone or have parents working there. But that does not make legal to play sports by AHSAA rules just because you attend the school. Now do see what I have been talking about. In 2007 Hoover forfeited 4 games because a kid moved in with his daddy who had lived in Hoover for 12 years but in the divorce the judge gave full custody to the mother who lived in north Alabama Cullman area. The state ruled his rightful home was with his mother and was illegal at Hoover so we forfeited the first 4 wins in September the kid was held out. Dad gets a hold of the judge he grants the father custody about 3 weeks later it is late October now . The AHSAA rules him legal and plays the last 5 games of the season. But still keep the forfeits against Hoover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 But still the GHSA wouldve allowed the boy to play because in Georgia Privates make their own decisions....

Attending the local school wasn't the problem but they said no he couldn't participate in the schools Athletics.... Which I'm iffy on... but I've heard worse.... In Georgia a private to Public transfer he probably would've been cleared even if the schools where local and close to each other. On the grounds that it's a Legit transfer.... It takes alot to be declared inelligible by the GHSA.... In this case The AHSAA sounds kinda ridiculous....

As long as the private school was a GISA and not a GHSA the transfer would be legal and he'd have eligibility straight away as long as he lives in the attendance zone of the public.

Nobody is stopping the kids from getting an education. It's encouraged. However, there are rules as it pertains to sports that are meant to keep good sportsmanship and fair play. They can go to school and not be eligible to play Varsity sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I think that is how they avoid serious lawsuit challenges to the eligibility rules. Of course, I'm much like @HooverOutlaw on the way the GHSA handles it using an honor system when people are not generally honorable. Lol. Parents can't be trusted to not lie on eligibility forms and some coaches and AD's can't either. It would be preferable to have a clearing house at the GHSA to mostly get that under control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
