Nobody in the state wins with homegrown kids. Every school that wins at a high level has kids that were recruited to play there. It's just a fact and one that people need to realize when they start badmouthing teams for recruiting players and badmouthing players for changing schools.

What transfers did the 2011 Rockcastle County girls have. What transfers did the 2010 Shelby Valley boys have. Breathitt County won the region four years in a row without transfers. As far as the Smith girl transferring, I see no problem as she has a parent who lives in Perry County and she has lived a substantial part of her life there. I do believe that many schools have to depend on transfers to get to the state tournament on a consistent basis because they cannot depend on their feeder programs. However, if you look at most state champions, they usually have a nucleus of players that have been together for four years.
