This could really become a pi**ing contest as all schools have had kids transfer into their schools at one time or another for different reasons. The kid from Westmar was probably the most obvious as he transferred into Alco, played out the season, won a State title, and then transferred back to Westmar where he graduated. Everyone knew what he was doing but no sanctions were ever imposed. That's not always the case as sometimes, coaches get caught up unintentionally violating the rules. Just this year the Mountain Ridge had to forfeit a soccer game due to having an informal practice on a Sunday. A few years ago, the best basketball coach Alco has ever had brought in several grads of his program to play against his kids in order to better prepare them for the playoffs. I know that these things go against the State's desire but I'm sorry, I don't see these issues as being a problem. If anything, we are lucky to have coaches/teachers in this county who are willing to spend their time improving our children.
I'm going astray here, but my point is that transfers happen and that sometimes rules get unintentionally broken. When it does, we don't hang the guilty ones up by their toes, or burn anyone's house down, we just make adjustments and move on.
