Need to change transfer rules ASAP!

I don’f follow it, but I had also noticed there’s been just a ton of blowouts this year.

Some one on this board tried justifying that 8-man football was hardly even football. Part of his reasoning was due to 8-man game scores (blowouts).

Obviously it happens across the entire spectrum of HS football.

Class 6a in Indiana (top class) will be very good this year. The Indy teams, crown point and Elkhart all have very good chance to make deep runs.

Wish they did a better job of televising these

Wait, what happened with that MS game? Lincoln just didn't come back to the field?

Correct. All parties agreed to stop the game. MS ran 11 plays by halftime, 7 of which went for TDs. Plus some special teams TDs.

Last night Elkhorn South fanbase was chanting "Transfer Portal" as Westside was running up the score. 😀

Christian Jones lives in the Elkhorn South zone. I wish all these kids would just go to their neighborhood zoned schools.

I heard from a reliable source that Millard South is currently recruiting the top 8th grade QB in the city that lives in Elkhorn.

6-man and 8-man is one thing when teams have 1 or 2 guys that are simply so much faster than the other team. Run away scores happen as 50 to 70 yard TD runs get racked up quickly.

This is Class A 11 man football. Supposedly the top end of the spectrum where teams are on equal ground and should be able to compete with one another.

That simply isn't happening.

These teams are simply getting manhandled physically like they are playing against Jr High football teams. True men amongst boys.

There are numerous B, C1, and C2 teams that would whip Lincoln High. No reason for them to be playing a Class A football schedule.

Well, yeah.

And so are 3 other specific schools.

Mooberry got hurt last night.

Creighton Prep won 7 or 8 straight in the 80s when they were the only school able to actually 'recruit'.

There are a few schools known for transfers being a substantial factor in their rosters. Some schools are a sport or two and others are systemic. Open enrollment, youth sports recruitment and egos (coaches, parents and players) all factor into long drives across the metro area that have little to nothing to do with academic priorities.

Sure but that is different, they are a business, they are a private school that literally has to do all they can to get kids to attend there.

Every other school has a built in base of students.

You need to just go to your home school. Period.

So does the QB from Westside (Braylon Warren), he's an Elkhorn South kid. Tay Tay their stud RB just transferred from Central. It goes on and on at Westside and Millard South, most stud players are transfers jumping on those teams.

Heard Millard South added 11 players this past year that were already starters at their previous schools...

All Millard Schools, Westside and Bell West have a huge advantage with open enrollment right now.

OPS not far behind with transfers inside the district, but stud players don't typically transfer into OPS. Those Central hoops teams over the years had monster all star teams (within OPS), that got the ball rolling on all this transfer nonsense. Also the Omaha "learning community" outcomes. And now the potential for NIL in college kicked it all into overdrive in high school.....

Class A schools should go to

Class A 1 - all the premier top ranked schools
Class A 2- middle of pack schools
Class A 3 - lower tier schools

Schedule off the Tier, will have more competitive games. The 3 classes can be adjusted every year

Just my thoughts

True but really, you can live by Elk North and go to Bell West and be there in 30 minutes. None of it is super far.

Open enrollment is stupid.
