I doubt that High School sports is going to end because of this. If the TSSAA is put to rest, some other organization will be created to fill that void, and sports will continue.

I can see the Cleveland AD driving or even flying to Oklahoma to verify the move.

If I were a Cleveland person I would totally question letting these girls get on the team that late in the season. The only strategy that makes sense to me is if letting them on the team would keep them on the team the following year (I am not sure if one of the girls was a senior this year or not). Those are smart coaches in Cleveland, if they were trying to cheat, this seems like a really bad way to get away with it. I doubt they were trying to cheat, something did not turn out the way it was presented to the TSSAA when they asked for a ruling on wrestling those two transfers. I trust the AD at Cleveland, he is no dummy and not a "cheater".

Hey Cleveland haters, if you need some more release on the "recruiting" theme, head on over to the girls basketball threads and read how the other high school in located in Cleveland is also only seeking a third straight championship through their ill gotten athletes. Man, what a reputation our little city has!

i responded because you quoted my post. Heck, I had no idea that your screen name was your real name anyways, I thought you had a lawn service or something like that. I do not believe in the "coward" comment, since it typically come with the premise of a physical encounter. Just reference the mom on here that came in to defend her son, and the she was allegedly harassed by the person on here. I am a Cleveland fan, I like just about everything they do and half my family attended the school, I did not. My observation is about the girls who were pulled from the line up. It is a fair and unbiased view.

oh yes, the standard "coward" comment, how clever to pull that out in the first sentence. I am still accountable to any opinion that I post on here, I am not stating facts. I found your opinion honest but still you wanted to lecture on people making assumptions even when you said you did not know. Plenty of people know who I am on this board, maybe ask your athletic director, he knows me.

Assuming that starters on the wrestling team want to finish what they started,,,,,,,it was a a big reach on that one. Just tell the story as you know it, Did those wrestlers say they were happy to be out of the line up for the wrestlers that came in at the last moment.

I would have an issue of getting my starters for the season out of the line up to accommodate any last minute wrestlers to the team. That is a bigger question to me versus the "cheated" premise going on. I would like to see the loyalty to those wrestlers.

You men on here are terrible and should not be talking about wrestling and wrestlers. And never mention someone's name on here, why? not sure, but there is some kind of line that is crossed when you do. just kidding, carry on.

I always liked "tag team" wrestling.

you seem to be the one making dates at the Starbucks.

None of these face to face meeting will end up being a good thing. Please set up a tripod and video camera to memorialize the event for all those following the dynamic event.

I have zero issue with transfers at all. I do not think that the TSSAA should restrict this activity at all. What I would hope would happen on a team is that the coaches accept transfers with open arms and put them on the team, but also look at the timing of these things and determine if it makes good sense to allow the transfers to walk in at the end of the regular season and replace the current athletes with the new transfers. If they are okay with doing that, take note of it. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, but I can certainly see how it impacts those that are there for the entire season and that impact. I have no idea who these two replaced and do not even know the names. So I have no dog in the hunt on this.

It may have impacted the girls that were taken out of the line up of an already "championship" team.
