I found this link that explains things pretty well:

As best I can tell, this just throws up another legal roadblock for Kentucky players who want to transfer after they've already been on another team's high school roster. It's probably not impossible given some lawyer involvement and carefully planned changes of residence and/or divorces, but it is risking a year of playing time if all the I's aren't dotted and the T's aren't crossed. Specifically for our area, I would think that any high school players in this situation in the future will just head across the big blue bridge to Ironton where simple residence rules are all that exist. Look for the price of rental property in Ironton to increase.

Also, this doesn't appear to apply to players under 9th grade, so Coach Jason Mays can still scour the middle school ranks to build a super team for the roundball Tomcats in a few years. His advice in his call is still applicable. And Raceland can still hold JFL nights for all the local schools to show the parents and young prodigies what their school has to offer. Perfectly legal.

Anyhow...as Scotty said, Paintsville isn't in Raceland's league this year. The Rams will win big Friday night.
