I think some ER people on here are missing the point new_o is trying to make. It's not a question of eligibility as the rules are written. Obviously, the ER boys moved here from Canada into the ER district, so they meet the residency rule. If the two girls moved from the ER district into the SV district, then they also meet the standard for eligibility. No problems there.

The difference is in how the kids ended up at the respective schools. Seeing as how the girls obviously would have known about Shelby Valley and their program, it stands to reason that there is a good probability that they and their family made the decision on their own to move. Another member on this thread even posted that they did not see eye-to-eye with the ER coach, which would lend more credibility to the idea that the decision to change schools was made solely by themselves.

The case of the Canadian transfers would seem to be much different, though. Those boys would obviously not be familiar with the East Ridge program living up North. It's not like they were sitting around one day and said "Hey, let's move to Pike County, Kentucky, and play for East Ridge." So it stands to reason that they would have been brought here by someone connected to the ER program. But since any evidence of recruiting is almost impossible to prove, there really isn't any reason to rule them ineligible.

Once again, you're talking about two totally different situations. Comparing these two girls to the Canadian kids really is like apples to oranges.
