[Orange Blaze]

Here is a point for you.
Not everyone drinks the orange kool aid and agrees with the notion of transferring just for sports.

This is a serious question and I’m not trying to be argumentative.  Why does it bother you that kids would want to transfer from one school to another for sports? Isn’t the whole point of athletics to learn how to be successful outside of the classroom?  

Obviously academics come first before anything but if an athlete has skills in a certain sport why is it a bad thing for them to go to a school that has a successful program?  This isn’t just about Raceland football either but could apply across the area.  If I had a child that wanted to play soccer then they would go to Russell or Ashland and if I had a child that was a talented distance runner I would want them to go to Boyd.  Right now Raceland happens to be the top football school in the area (on the KY side) and that attracts talent. 

IMO it’s all about finding a place for your child can find success at.  Just because someone lives in a certain town shouldn’t mean they town owns them or they owe the town their services.  NEKY is too small and everyone should cheer for each other regardless of where they came from or end up.
