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.

I was always told if someone transfers from your program then they were never really yours! They never bought in to what you was selling. If a kid leaves then that’s probably a good thing for that program cause they never really wanted to be there

I think about it in terms of owning a business.  If my client leaves to do business with a competitor I am not going to get upset with the competitor for taking my client but I am going to look in the mirror and ask myself why I failed at retaining them.  The same applies here.  As an institution, if schools lose their best people, in this case athletes, then it is the job of the athletic director and principal to create solutions to make sure people don’t want to leave.

You gotta put it in perspective….these people on social media making stupid statements don’t have a clue of what they are talking about. They make it sound like Raceland has 22 transfers haha. There are four on the team from three different schools and only one school on this side of the river hahah. Hell I was told by a couple Raceland parents that Fairyveiw people were saying Raceland was playing with 20 year olds hahah. Really ??? Are y’all that damn stupid ?? People lose their minds ….if it’s on Facebook it’s gotta be true haha

The funny thing about all that is Ashland got caught on a recording cheating and will get away with it but it’s ok because it’s the mighty Tomcats lol.

This thread had been hijacked enough though lol.  As for this game, if the Rams don’t overlook Paintsville we should win comfortably.  That being said, I’ve seen Raceland teams that were not as good on paper as the Tigers pull the upset so this is not a game that should be taken for granted.
