Spare us the racist comments.
Simple talk, real talk.

It makes a slight difference and significantly helps out inner city teams.
Highlands probabaly got scared from doing it when they brought Mitchell in from Cov Cath nicker: That worked out well.

No racist comments! Just stating the facts,I am not the one who said you can't win with out black athletes! I am acctually surprised Highlands does not have more Black students. If I was living in HUD housing in Newport,Holmes district and had kids, I would want better for my kids and move to FT Thomas so they could go to a better school district for academics and sports(Yes, there is HUD housing in FT Thomas, so it would cost them no more to live there).
In the Mitchell case, it was his parents who brought him to Highlands. It put Highlands between a rock and a hard place when the courts and KHSAA could not agree on if he should play or not. I give his parents credit for doing what they thought was best for him(I heard he was really treated bad and unfair at CCH so his parents brought him to HHS,A kid/family does not like a school and decides it is not for him and chooses to go to another school and so everyone thinks he was recruited to the new school. I never heard one Cov Cath fan state HHS recruited him,because they know it is not true ), but I also believe they skirted the rules with their offical residence. However, that is not Highlands fault,they went by court orders.
