But what if said community isn’t properly representing their kids? What if their schools are mired in politics and in turn those politics have spilled onto the sports teams of said school? Loyalty runs both ways, Doug

I don't like the politics, but this ain't college. Not much glory in a local school winning with players from all over the state or other states. You trying to justify hold backs and recruiting to form an all- star team doesn't make it right

Not trying to justify anything. No need to. Just simply stating a fact that kids shouldn’t have to be forced to stay loyal to a place that is more concerned with political interests than giving kids the best possible school they can both in the classroom and in sports. The grass is always greener where it’s watered….

We all know what "watered" means. kids should go to school and play where they live.

What exactly does "watered" mean, for those of us who don't know...

Player is unbelievable talent, but has family issues with the coaching staff. Never plays because coach has other agendas. Multiple time transfers are ridiculous, but sometimes the best option is a new start for these kids. Imagine being an all-state talent sitting the bench behind a coaches son. It happens more than what we imagine. Coaches are humans who feel emotions and make irrational decisions due to them. BTW, idk what Watered means…
