I haven't posted on here in a long time. Sometimes I get so frustrated I don't want to say the wrong thing or write something that someone else twists around. Stop grouping all posters from the various schools together. The one or two arrogant Siegel posters don't represent the school. They give Siegel a bad rap. Not just Siegel, but there are posters from the other schools that aren't helping their school's cause either. I think all posters from all schools are very passionate about their school and team, as it should be. We forget that alot of the postings are opinions and thats ok. Not everyone is going to agree. All schools are going to complain about refs at one point or another. And yes I have seen some bad officiating this year. And I was watching some other teams in tournament play so I'm not talking about just Siegel or 7aaa.
I give props to Oakland on their win. Siegel was so off their game that night because Oakland took them out of their "run and gun" game. Siegel can learn a good lesson from the loss on how to improve thier game and make it more dimensional. If not, take note EVERYONE from here on out will slow down and play a half court offense.
One more thing and I'll stop. Why do people keep thinking kids are recruited and not in the correct zone? Who would be that stupid to risk forfeiting an entire season if they are caught. I know for a fact that everyone on Siegel's team is living in the zone legally. In my job, I have access to these sort of records. Now I also know there are loopholes to be found too. And all schools know about them too. When my family moved back to the Boro 7 years ago, we looked at homes in specific school zones. Who doesn't? When I ask what the policy for zoning was for those employed at Rutherford County schools, I was told if the parent or legal guardian was a full time employee of that school their child could go there. Not a part time caferteria worker or MDA. How about a vice prinicipal at another RC school where their child was allowed to pick what school they wanted to go to. Example - parent employed at Laverge, kid goes to Oakland, zoned for Siegel. Now how about a caferteria worker, full time at one school, lives in another school's zone and their child was denied a zone exemption to the school that the parent work full time at. Why the difference you asked? Makes you wonder. Me too. But it happened to my family. Recruiting? maybe... But, everything still worked out for the good. Hope everyone's remaining season is safe and injury free!
