Question for the Pike county fans
#1
This is taken from the Daily independent.

Quote:
The family of an eastern Kentucky student is suing the state athletic association for ruling him ineligible to play football. Richard Gilliam has not played since the KHSAA on Sept. 15th denied his privileges on the field citing his recent transfer from Belfry High School in Pike County to Pike County Central High School. The association's bylaws state that students who change high school are ineligible for a year, unless they meet one of several exceptions, including a "bona fide" change in residence. The Gilliams contend that their move from Lower John's Creek to Ratliff's Ridge is a bone fide change in residence. The suit, filed Tuesday in circuit court, seeks an order that would suspend the association's ruling and also for an emergency hearing.


My question for the local residents is this. Would the move that was discussed constitute a bona fide change in residence? Is there a difference in the location or is it just a different name for the same location? If it is an actual move then why would there be any question as to his eligibility?

I'm just looking for clarification of the issue. I don't want to turn this thread into a huge argument for illegal transfers. If it goes that way I will close the thread.
