Wildcat Will Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Many are perplexed by the transfer situation in hsfb. There is much confusion as to the rules. The concept that exist is simple enough to understand in the state of Georgia. It is in no way a violation of the rule. In Georgia, the rules are clear. One must make a bonafide,verifiable move. The GHSA will, at times, rule on hardship, given the severity of the student/athletes situation. This happens often without any publicity so none of us know, yet we question. The main reason for the thread is to point out this, many systems are open enrollment. Open enrollment affords a student the opportunity to attend school outside his or her home school. This is possible if the desired school has space and they are able to provide their own transportation. It happens in the metro Atlanta area so often, those outside the loop and without knowledge of the simplest explanation, can not fathom this as relative fact. I know this will draw criticism, with a range of differing opinions but the truth is sometimes so simple, it is hard to take. Thanks for your support.

Ga96 Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 The problem they coaches high school and youth actively recruiting players to go to certain schools and the boosters footing the moving bills. Local businesses and even the schools creating jobs for the parents. Seen one school this summer had coaches go on college campus visits with a player that wasn't on their team and the player ended up transferring to then right before the season started. Supposed to be against the rules under their influence rule but ehh ghsa ignored it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number one among them is a desire to play with their friends. Don't be naive. Being from south Georgia, you need to understand the numbers. The number of kids in Lowndes county 10,500, is a fraction of the kids in school,say in Gwinnett, who has over 100,000 students. Schools are 7-9 miles apart. It is easy to attend any school.

Iletteredintrack Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 What does open enrollment have to do with transfers being eligible? Just because a school accepts a student that student isn’t automatically eligible for GHSA events. They still have to meet the eligibility requirements such as the bona fide move if the move was after 9th grade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made this long post explaining open enrollment but that has zero to do with eligibility with the GHSA. For the most part even schools that don’t specifically say they have open enrollment will accept students from out of district as long as there is room.

If you are the fred i think you are you know first hand because you actively recruit players to come to grayson. The point went flapping over your head. The spelling and grammar in the post I quote are abysmal even for a football board. If that's the best example of a Lowndes education, I would hang my head in shame. Once again you don't know what you think you do about us or me. I can't speak for others but I have never spoken to another school's player other than to congratulate them or their parents on a game well played. I am very, very careful to make sure I don't because I could be considered a booster. You, on the other hand, seem to be actively involved with an activity that has severe conflicts of interest. Hard to take your accusations of impropriety seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
