Here is a great example. A kid Ty’Drez Clements who played at MT View wv transfered to border Virginia power Graham va and now he is the reigning Va player of the year and has tons of eyes on him. Its just how the process works. Same reason big recruits go to bama and ohio state and not boston college. You are correct14U wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 3:50 pmI am used to it and like it like I said. I was just talking about those who don’t. If you lived in Lawrence county where would u want to play? Same goes for scioto. That’s why those teams up north are good. Been doing this for years, just find the loop hole.most around here gripping because they lost that stud player or playing against that team. I like it because that kid or player might not get a college looking at him because he plays on crap team etc!!BTWNTHE__ wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:47 amNormal part of modern day sports at EVERY level.

Around here last 10 years axcept 2 schools u know who they are! So what hell jackson how many divisions bigger than burg 2? I believe equal it up!! I myself like kids going where they’re comfortable or can play and if it makes a team unbeatable oh well root for then at the state!! Like I said if a D-VII school plays half D-II thru D-V schools with most players going D-I colleges what’s that tell ya?
Most of seo has around a 2% annual population decrease AND their average demographic is mid 40s and male. Which means TRANSFERS is what will suppliment and keep marquee SEO programs like Ironton & Burg competitive in the future. Without the transers, over time, these marquee seo programs will eventually become the now vanished Ironton St Joe football program.
So its here to stay. It will increase as population decreases. And its never going away. Get use to it.
If a kids option is Ironton or burg or Coal Grove or Rock Hill - the choice will be Ironton or Burg 99% of the time.
That "hometown loyalty" nonsense is a relic. Borders dont exist. All these kids interact via social media etc. They go where the "bag" is.
