bigbird Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Bigbird, you're back! We hadn't heard from you since before the tourney. I was fearing our horrible performance in the championship game had left you totally shattered and hopeless. Not totally shattered... I admit it was hard to see us play such good defense against Manassas and lose the game because we could not hit the broad side of a barn.

bigbird Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 So much for the argument given on here that nearly all athletes at private schools were there through the middle school years or even elementary years. It's clear there will be transfers including at public schools, just look on this site in the girls' basketball topics especially midstate schools. The problem here, as mentioned, was Hamilton not-so-subtly encouraging athletes to "come on down", or "come on up" if they're still targeting Dalton (beyond the 20 mile zone, so they wouldn't have to sit out). Indian, the argument has not changed. Private schools exist because kids transfer from other schools at all ages, not just high school. My statement about transfers was focused on the non-high school grades... I was not aware of a lot of transfers in public schools because of zoning issues.
