Central's New Transfer

[BLUEDOVE3]

Same with Nederland in football. HJ, Nederland is the "end all, be all"

I was wondering if anybody was gonna pick up on that. Another example of political minimizing, but I will save that text for the political forum

We all know his boys went to Ozen for athletic purposes, but they played JV there first year just like the 7'3" kid  is going to do. 

Athletic purposes? That does not make sense at all.

So your telling me if Ozen would have a basketball program like Livingston or Vidor, you would of still transferred your boys there?

What is so special about Ozen and basketball? Ozen is a football school. As I have said before, I have an older daughter who attended Ozen in mid 2000's as well. She did not want to go to HF.

Honestly, I think one of the best Coaches in our District is Coach Abel @ PNG. I've watched his strategy & ability to Coach on the fly, he just doesn't have the Talent.

Ohhh Nooo he didn't!!!! Lol

Dove it's simple! Ozen and HJ are basketball schools. Nederland and PNG are football schools. PA Memorial is none of the above. Lol

Welp when the Executive Director of UIL is your former coach just happens to win a state championship at that school im sure that gets you all kinds of special privileges : )

[Pumper]

Actually it's quite the opposite.  Goes out of his way to avoid any appearance of favoring HJ.

We shall see.  A little different situation.  This kid's parents don't live in a neighboring school district.  A little longer commute to Beaumont from Nigeria than Hampshire or Fannett or Cheek.  I assume the DC will rule against him but, if so, we will see what the folks in Austin have to say.

May be the funniest thing I've read on this board... :D

Let them  play let them play !!!!!!

I understand the situation is strange and unfortunate for the kids from Nigeria but i would feel the same way if they just recently got a guardian that leaved in Nederland and just started living with them 2 months ago. Rules are rules and fair is fair....

[BMTSoulja1]

Good question.  Could have been a couple of scenarios.  If they went to Ozen for a year and played underlevels then they established residency at Ozen and were good for varsity after one year.  Another scenario is they used a false address in Beaumont if they played varsity right away.  A final scenario is that they applied for a waiver through the UIL and it was granted (which is unlikely considering UIL hardly ever approves those waivers). 

Good info, Lazeek...

[BMTSoulja1]

Lazeek I understand, and I agree with you.  but blue saying exactly with go to school where you live, through me off. Since his kids went to ozen according to him now for education and his daughter stayed in hf for athletic purposes only 

Ohh boy...  Popcorn anyone?

Rules are rules.  Which is why they have a hardship exception.  Say you were in a foreign country trying to better your life, the school you attended shut down, and another family took you in and you enrolled in the school for which you were zoned.  Again, if the DC does not grant an exception based on the situation (and an inordinate amount of whining), that will not be the last say in the matter.  We will have to wait and see how it unfolds...

[united we stand]

See all these different. answers, thats why i brought up the young man that transfered from kountze to ozen this year and will play for ozen this year, i am sure theres a great reson why he gets to play .

[BLUEDOVE3]

You have to give more information about the student's situation.  Maybe Kountze signed off... not transferring for academic reasons and... Maybe a parent lives in Ozen zone...  and maybe...

How do we even know the school shutdown in Atlanta? This again is hear say. It shows that Chris attended JetSet Language School in Atlanta. I did a Google search and i didn't see anything about it being closed. (I could be wrong or missed something) If the school closed down it's unfortunate and I'm glad they have a good home and school in bmt but if school is indeed still open, then that opens a whole new can of worms. Not sure how deep the UIL digs but I'm sure they will do the right thing.

I know the school he went to in Atlanta and that it shut down last year.  That's how I know.  The DC and UIL know/will know as well.

I know for a fact that the school Chris attended in Atlanta shut down. And not from hear say.

If it shut down last year, curious as to why young man wasnt here for the start of school, be it Kelly or Central.
