My guess is that he will not be eligible if he played varsity ball at Powell Co. last year. He still has to go through the transfer process with KHSAA. Just because his mother lives in Estill, that does not mean that he will be eligible. KHSAA usually does not approve transfers like this one. Just because the kid gets mad at the Powell Co. coach and decides to go to another school where his mother lives, if KHSAA shoots any transfer down, it's usually one under these circumstances. Look at Bylaw 6 on KHSAA's website.

I think if he plays ball this year, it will have to be at Powell Co.

Hope he can play somewhere if that's what he wants. Good luck.:thumpsup:

You are right in that he will not be able to play until the KHSAA says he can, and if they think there are unusual circumstances in his move from Powell to Estill, like it's not a family custody issue but for the purpose of playing basketball due to his dislike of the new coach and his methods, then they have all the power in the world to rule him ineligible. However, after the rulings on the transfers to Scott County from Rose Hill and Boone County, I doubt he will be ruled ineligible. It may take some time for him to see action in an Engineer uniform, maybe a month or more. But he will probably be allowed to play.

On a side note, the KHSAA has opened up a whole can of worms with their Scott County rulings. I'm afraid their future decisions will have to be fairly liberal on transfers. They've set a precedent with their Scott rulings and now it would really look bad to hammer the little guys while permitting the big schools to slide by with little said. Crowe has probably caught them at the right time.
