I am glad we have so many teams in the 14th Region and across the state that are so committed to winning with their own kids that they refuse any athletes that want to transfer to their school.

I mean, sure, you could be like GRC and have a few transfers and win a state championship. But where is the fun in that?

Agreed. Some schools and fans are ok with receiving transfers but not ok when they lose one. I think there is a word for that.

People who lose kids and lose basketball games end up sore about it and I wouldn’t blame them. There are a lot of kids who grow up wanting to put their school’s name on their chest and if one of your buddies leaves the team it probably hurts.

If we’re being honest, and everyone stayed where they started out, Jackson City would’ve probably been playing Estill County in the 14th Region championship game this year. But we’ll never know because these kids and families made decisions they felt were right for them. Luckily they don’t answer to the geniuses on here.

I don’t think Jackson city would be playing for a championship one bit. Turner and Collins are the only jackson city school natives. All the other boys went to the public school prior to transferring up on the hill in middle school. The Bellamy’s, combs and sperry all started with the public school. So no, I don’t think turner and Collins could take them to the regional finals. They didn’t make the finals this year all together. With that said I have no problems with kids playing where they want. I for see a player for the bobcats this year playing 30 miles down the road. Time will only tell

My apologies. Hard to keep up with all the transfers when you account for K-8.
So I'll rephrase...
if Jackson City would have kept all those kids together they would have been in the championship game. They had Dawson Duff too.

My whole point in this minor rant is that kids want to play where they want to play. Collins has played varsity sports for three schools already at this point but there isn't a thread that's been going on for almost a year about Breathitt County loading up. It's only an issue when a team wins. Should a player from Wolfe County or Estill County want to show up and play at Breathitt next year, they'd welcome them with open arms just like they did Collins and they would try to win ballgames.

What is it that Ben Shapiro says? "Facts don't care about your feelings." Kids will play where they want to play and it doesn't matter what anyone says.
Parkway buddy I'm just rambling and not really directing anything at you. Just getting tired of the same old talk about transfers and junk every year.
You could make a superteam from the 14th and walk through the region and have to go through multiple superteams of handpicked kids from some other region at Rupp.
