Transfers:

[Ed Ott]

Transfers happen for about a dozen different reasons. It 100% falls in the parents. Not the kid, school, coach etc.

The most alarming transferring to me is when a school has no program history of being good, school district has bad state report card and the per capita income is s low as anywhere in the state, yet several have transferred there for basketball.

So Jackson, Ironton, and Wheelersburg can recruit but New Boston can’t?

Burg is great at most sports, some of the higher test scores and a nice little area where people might actually want to relocate. Ironton has a history as a football power and look to have it back going. Jackson has great facilities, very good football program (basketball gaining some steam too) and one of the higher ranked districts in the district, decent little city. All those things listed are reason for relocating. It’s opposite that school is getting transfers.

You left out Athens. I wish we still played you guys. But of course you tucked and ran away to play Alexander.

I’m a Jackson fan WHEN they play Athens. Thx for living in the past. I’ll guess you are a Steelers fan

I guess its not I don’t know. I have 2400 pictures saved in my phone but don’t have any game pictures from 5 or so years ago.

Transfers are pretty common now. My son will never transfer. In 2 of his 3 sports kids have moved in and put in front of him (because they are better)....he will play the role the coach has set and he can always choose to get better of course. We cheer on the kids that have moved in and I expect that in return from those that have moved in. Come to Jackson if you please, but buy the fan gear and root on all the players, that’s all I ask.

Very good thoughtful post. A lot of people will never ever look at it that way though, but everyone has a right as to there opinion.

If you change your mind I know a place with a pretty good distance program.

Excellent! My son has yet to complain about his playing time but the "practice/work more and get better" speech is already loaded for such a time...lol Excellent post
