I think parents should be allowed to send their kids to whatever school they choose. The eligibility thru the KHSAA and schools signing off on the student/athlete is where I have the problem. Let's see, last season Evan Adkins transferred to Johnson Central and lost almost the entire football season. The year before Mikka Ward transferred to Johnson Central and lost her entire junior softball season. Nick McKenzie transferred to Johnson Central from Lawrence County a few seasons ago and lost a football season. When Casey Brown transferred as mentioned above he lost eligibility. When Daymion Belcher transferred to Paintsville, he was immediately eligible. We can go back to so many schools and find a similar story. Let them go wherever they want and have one of two rules. You either make everyone sit out for 365 days for the date you enroll at a new school for whatever the reason or let the kids be eligible immediately.
