Of the 44 players on Bowling Green's 2-deep, 38 played football at BGJHS. The six "transfers" came as follows. 1 moved to BGJHS from Moss (Warren Central) after his 8th grade season. 1 moved from Greenwood during his FR year after FB season. 1 moved from Pearl Cohn (Nashville) during his SO year. 1 moved from East Nashville HS during his FR year. 1 moved from Christian Co. prior to his JR year. 1 moved from Oakland HS (Murphresboro, TN) prior to his JR year.

Given the nature of the contract between WC/BG schools, any Warren Co. transfer to BGHS will likely have to live in the BGISD district. Prior to this season, double-digit athletes left Warren Central and transferred to various schools. NONE came to BGHS. South Warren, Greenwood, Warren East, and F-S all had WC transfers this season.

Due to the contract limitations that WCPS puts on transfers to BGISD, there are very few "open enrollment" spots that are available each year and the two school systems hold a joint lottery to decide what students are allowed to enter the BGISD school district. There are hundreds on a waiting list to be put into the lottery each year. Most are pre-school age-elementary age. On the flip side, BGISD does not limit the number of open enrollment students that can go from the BG district to WCPS. Hopefully, a better understanding of the contract will enlighten you to the difficulties that BGHS would have collecting Warren County transfers after they reach HS age.

There is no doubt that any outstanding HS program attracts interest from parents and students desiring to become a part of great success. Often, "the rich get richer" in HS athletics. BGHS is not the only school to benefit from being an attractive academic and athletic environment.
