Nice article

[Real Badman]

Was it about how to get caught cheating and forfeit three seasons worth of wins?

[MayfieldCardinal]

Is that the guy who took Fairview to state a few years back?

[Scotty_Bronson]

Yes it is. I've known the family for many years, and while things went on that in know way should have, I am glad to say Nathan get a second chance and be successful.

[MayfieldCardinal]

Good for him

[Do-double-gg]

The Mcpeek's were trying to do the same crap here in Lawrence CO as they did in Fairview but fortunately they didn't stay long enough to screw things up as bad as Fairview. The man grew our roster from like 52 to 90 in one off season with a bunch of transfers from all over the place. This was Gary Mcpeek I believe his name was I can't remember if Nathan was on his staff or not.

I'm still in absolute utter disbelief that Frederick Douglass hired Garry McPeek as their athletic director AND THEN let him hire Nate McPeek onto the football staff after all the absolutely underhanded garbage they pulled at Fairview.

Insert Jake & Elwood saying "We're putting the band back together." Lol

The way the state handled FD, I can see why. They could recruit from any of the Lexington schools so why not bring in the best recruiter you can find to start the program?

Nate was not on the LC staff then or any other time. He was playing college football at Marshall.
Not only that, but I’d challenge you to name one significant transfer Garry McPeek brought to LC. I’ll wait...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
With all due respect I was simply posting a national publication article that a Kentucky HS coach wrote,and I wanted to share the information. I'm sure everyone on this site, and in this world have made mistakes. Bill Belichek, Urban Meyer, and others cheats but are considered the world's greatest coach so get a grip on a mistake a HS coach made. Great job Coach McPeek on the article for AFCA.

The state had nothing to do with that, but nice try.

Not a mistake if still doing it like some suggest. Have to be alittle naïve if do not see what is going on over at FD

The KHSAA allowed the recruiting process. Same as Scott Co now. Coaches can talk to and recruit whoever is in the county public school.

What? Khsaa doesn't make that decision for the county. You are not suppose to do that in Fayette Co they have boundries for each School. Heard they have players from others counties also, but that's old news.

[PRIDE101]

You have boundaries as well but for a period of time the coaches can recruit anyone in the county. Do you think that wasn’t approved by KHSAA or can any county do that as long as board says so? Not the case

Yes, it was a good piece written by a sharp coach for coaches.
Congrats to him on getting the chance.

No I do not think it was approved by the Khsaa, the Superintendents make that decision. How can Khsaa tell a school you can or can't recruit your own county. No way they could control that. When you say not the case are you 100% sure? Just doesn't make since to me. I know for a fact you are not suppose to in Fayette County at anytime.

[PRIDE101]

There is a handbook you need to read. School boards can not belong to that organization and not follow all the rules. It was approved.

Ok last one because we getting way off topic. So are you saying for a period of time sort of like a dead period, a Coach can openly recruit a player if that county has mutilple High Schools, even if not open enrollment if the Khsaa approves it? Heck maybe I'm wrong just never heard of that.

f) REASSIGNMENT BY BOARD OF EDUCATION- The period
of ineligibility may be waived if the student has changed
schools through a properly documented reassignment of the
Board of Education to another school. To meet this exception
for a reassignment, reasons for the assignment may include
the closing or opening of a school due to consolidation,
merger, opening of a new school, or another type of opening
or closing or assignment through KRS 158.6455 or other
applicable adopted regulation. In the case of a school closing
or consolidation, such assignment may be to the public school
district should a private, parochial or independent school close.
For a multiple school district reallocating students to existing
schools in a revised manner (redistricting), the exception shall
be valid only on the fi rst day of school for the student body
following implementation of the redistricting plan, and does not
apply before or after that date due to optional choices offered
by the district.
Determinations of whether a student shall be granted a waiver
pursuant to this exception shall be based on the circumstances
existing as of the date of enrollment at the new school.
Case BL-16-3- What is a feeder school as used when
reviewing permissible contact?
For a school to be considered a “feeder” school, it must be under
the same local board of education as the member school,
and enroll students below grade nine. A student enrolled at
a nonfeeder school shall not be enrolled at a feeder school
irrespective of past enrollment patterns of that nonfeeder
school. Applying to a school does not waive this definition
as there is a clear line between applying and actually being
enrolled. School and school districts may choose to define a
more restrictive feeder pattern for its middle schools to high
schools which if violated, constitute the student not being
“connected”.

[Iam4thecats]

A board of education can open, close , or change feeder pattern in their own district. This would have been in effect for FD until the first day of school 2 years ago. It created a Douglass feeder pattern. It did not give anyone the ability to recruit kids from other schools. Just one example is Tates Creek infamously lost a starter on the first day of school who had practiced with them for 3 years including that summer and he was eligible the next day. Tates Creek is on the other side of town. That kid couldn't have lived in the feeder zone. Be informed.

[Iam4thecats]

To make a long story short on great crossing they can recruit kids right now who are distictricted by the county to attend Great crossing or one of the feeder schools that have been assigned. Its not open season nor the wild wild west where any kid in Scott county can be poached from Scott. From the website Students districted to Garth, Lemons Mill, Southern, Stamping Ground, and Western will attend Great Crossing High School. Kids already at Scott right now have the choice to be grandfathered in and finish there.

[PRIDE101]

Where in that statement does it describe doing away with all assignments? Where does it state coaches can openly recruit any player? When opening a new school and join the KHSAA they give you several options to start play. Be informed

Obviously they do not do that. I just copied and pasted from the handbook. You are the one with no evidence.

Thanks for your other post- Got a little info about the Tates Creek kid, he was in a program called the Carter G Woodson Acad.. which is on FD campus so if wanted to stay with that program had to go to FD, could be wrong but I think that's correct

The website doesn't tell the whole story, those elementary schools are district to Great Crossing, so is Georgetown Middle and some of Scott County Middle, but any kid from 6th-12th grade can apply to go to any school in the county they want as long as that school is not at capacity. So it really is the wild, wild, west in Scott County as long as there is open enrollment, that's why I keep trying to tell folks opening of Great Crossing isn't going to hurt Scott County sports teams like some think.

You guys have no clue what you are talking about. The new coach at GC can walk in the starting QB from Scott and talk him into going to GC. It is open season. My last post, I was on the policy board and know what happens when a new school comes into existence. Several options such as Wolf County and Greater Crossings difference.

[AnswertheBell]

Board do not set rules for district IF you have joined KHSAA . You join you are expected to follow rules. So this tells me that the exception was passed by the athletic organization.

[Real Badman]

I don't think Knott County is in their boundary
