Beech QB transfers

[mondo44]

Saw yesterday that Jackson Ford, the 6-5 soph starting QB for Beech has transferred to play for Melissa High in Melissa Texas.  I believe he announced the same thing back in July 2021 but then came back to Beech the next week.

That is a big loss for what should be a very inexperienced squad this next year.

I had heard that he was possibly transferring to Lipscomb where he could play for TD.  Still very good football in Texas

Guess he didn't want to sit his junior year out.

If his family moved he would have been eligible.

At least 20 miles away. Even private school. Craig Bradshaw rule.

That’s an easy problem to solve. From the Beech area to Williamson, Rutherford or Dickson County solve the 20 mile rules.  Most just rent an apartment that is 20 miles away. My personal opinion is that Texas high school football is much better than Tennessee which will allow the young man to develop his skills.

I think the rule is the schools are 20 miles apart.  Not that you move 20 miles.

 People may not want to acknowledge the fact that people move every day and cheat/not tell the truth as to why they are moving.  BTW, the distance between Beech High School and Lipscomb is 26.4 miles

Per his Twitter account yes.  The school he is transferring to is about 40 miles  

NE of Dallas close to Plano.  Melissa High lost in the 4A quarterfinals this year.  They move up to 5A next year.
