The NKYFL requires a student to attend the school. Unless a change has been made to the KHSAA home schooled students may night play sports for a school. This is the same regulation for the KYMSFA.

You do have a player on the NYKYFL team that lives within the school district but attends school in another district. He wears his jersey just about every Friday to school.

This has nothing to do with hate. The fact is there are going to have to be certain questions answered and adjustments made in the KYMSFA just like there was for Lex Cath. For those that are not aware there is not a Lex Cath MS. The same questions being asked of Union are the same questions asked of Lex Cath. Past enrollment numbers Lex Cath was very open answering questions. In fact Lex Cath ended up being D2 because of a D1 school requesting enrollment numbers. Lex Cath had stated they would always play D1 because of how they were set up.

Some are taking offense to things that there is no need to be offended by. School team check grades often once a week. The school runs a report off of the grading system used at the school. If a player doesn't make grades he must sit for a week. This varies from school to school but it is fairly common. Many schools have now started discipline policies that follow the same line and attendance.

At no point has anyone said the Union team was made of thugs, or superstar athletes with poor grades. It is a simple fact since Union is not a school team questions will be asked during the offseason at the KYMSFA meeting.

Just to make sure you know everything you are talking about, there is no one on the Union Raiders 7th or 8th grade team that goes to a different school. The 5th and 6th grade team does not play in the NKYFL, that is for the 7th and 8th grade other team, that does have a home schooled kid on it. The 5th and 6th grade team plays a schedule with Cov. Cath and Campbell Co. 5th and 6th graders. The Union Raiders are not breaking any of the KYMSFA rules and went through all the questions to join the league, and put on a good showing all year. This is Ryle's feeder program and these kids will attend Ryle. No one is allowed to play on the KYMSFA teams if they are not at Ockerman or Gray, and live in Ryle's district. The 8th graders playing up is a great thing, just like the middle school doing the same thing the high shcool does. Union runs the same offense and defense as Ryle H.S. and that is how you develop a program. Not to throw any disrespect to anyone but this all came up after your team got drilled by the 7th and 8th grade team from Union.
