This is now common in that kids transfer high schools like kids transfer colleges.  I thought that there was some UIL rules about this but it probably doesn't matter much anymore.  Hard to enforce.  The future could see HS kids being offered under the table money from a wealthy metro district booster club to transfer.  Hey, it is not out of the realm of possibility in the world we live in.  JMHO!

Been happening in The Woodlands, La Marque, and South Lake for Years my friend. The only thing is there isn't any proof.  Lol

Your probably right.  I don't know about the schools you mentioned, but it probably has been happening.  You may have some first hand knowledge.  I wouldn't have any, just a hunch.

I totally understand what you are saying. It's happening everywhere.

But, in this particular case, athletics was the last reason for this transfer and I'll leave it at that.

If the player moved to Silsbee how is this even news worthy? Now if he does not reside within the district that should peek some intrest within the community.

I heard he could really play on the court!

Sounds like ya'll have been "coached" well, as what to say, and I'll leave it at that.

This wasn't a statement that there was any particular impropriety concerning this transfer just a statement that this is happening all the time now.  Transfers were rare 30 years ago.  Another sign of the change in our culture.
