No dog in this fight but, if they won a middle school state championship, who coached them? Somebody must have known how to coach 'em up. As for kids transferring from Betsy Layne to Pikeville or P-Burg, that's been happening for years. Parents want their kids to play for winning programs...period. The academics card is played to try to justify the move. Too bad KHSAA has no backbone or real authority. All it takes is a threat of a lawsuit and KHSAA melts away.

While coaching deserves much credit, it is overrated. All it takes to win at this level is getting a system and your kids to buy into what you're selling. Having talent is a big deal as well. Size is big too. If you have a big kid and a good guard winning at this level is simple. Force other team to make decisions on the fly. Force them to run and execute an entire play. Force a 12/13/14 year old kid to make a decision at the blink of an eye with defense in his face and make it be the right one. I could care less...again CARE LESS about anything that way. I am not from there, never been there. I support the 15th region because they are the neighboring region but as far as having a dog I don't either.
