I can only think of three kids that have transferred from Russell to Raceland. One of those kids, both of his parents work for the Raceland school system. So it only makes sense that their children would go. One transferred for personal reasons that really have no place being discussed on here. The other just made a bad choice by jumping to conclusions before he had all of the facts. That does not seem like a mass exodus to me.

I can understand someone changing schools because they have parents that work there. I just can't understand someone moving from Russell to Raceland simply for the athletics program.

Russell plays in a higher class, has been more successful, has a hall of fame head coach, has the best defensive coach in the area, and has possibly the best basketball coach in the region in Kidwell. Maybe it's the basketball gym. Raceland does have the nicest gym in the region.
