Appalachia, Powell Valley, and Football

[PVVikings2006]

Why everyone gets so caught up in acting like they are going to be forgotten is beyond me......everyone asking..... you talk about people forgetting athletes from the schools like they need some sort of special attention for the rest of their lives. The past is over....kaput. There is nothing you can do to change the past. No one will forget the past....I have heard all kinds of stories of the stonega stallion yet when I walk in appalachia high school....I don't see pictures lining the walls of their great individual athletes.....instead I see pictures of great teams....and that's great too. Use a little give and take here.... while students will be going to the old PV high school....take all the pictures of the teams and athletes from Appalachia and PV and put them all in the Appalachia HS building and make it like a community museum/center for the new "community" of students to be able to go through and visit. They gym at Appalachia can be used as a place for the boys and girls to play and the place can become useful for the community. There are so many things you can do....you just have to use some creativity.

noone has mentioned some of these kids coming to norton? how would that affect nortons sports??

It probably wouldnt do much the first year, but raise their numbers. Unless the kids changed residents, they wouldn't be legal for a year.

... Unless the kids changed residents...

So much easier than I think people are realizing this is done yearly by 1 or 2 kids all over the state.. if say, 10 kids from 2 different schools approached JJ Kelly or PV (or whatever they are gonna be called next year) or even J.I. Burton and looked to make a transfer swap and residence change, its as simple as 1, 2, 3.... If they don't CHOOSE to go to what is Currently PV or JJ Kelly they can very easily go anywhere else they want. Wait and see. :2thumbsup:

thats what i was thinking also, if they leave after school ends what is the rule for sitting out is it a year? or will it be shorter where the schools will be null and void?i always thought they had to have like 15 practices or something like that

Without a move they by rule have to sit out 365 days.

That being said it is not that hard to fudge the truth.... However if they are ever caught the VHSL would probably deal with the offending school in much the same way they handled Palakies(sp?) rules violations

plus, according to the coalfield, Norton is still watching and waiting for something to come along to consolidate with the county. With that there would be no transfers to Norton to worry about.

It is done very easily. I know that, but that doesnt make it right, and doesn't mean someone else might not turn them in over it.

Would the rules even apply though with the schools closing?

[1inStripes]

It should as long as they stay inside the county. I see a bigger issue if they try to go outside the county, ie Lee High, Rye Cove, JI Burton, Castlewood, Clintwood....etc.
