Does anyone remember a WR from Gaffney transferring to Dorman and so much was said about the transfer that the SCHSL actually enforced the rule that the transfer was solely for "athletic" reasons and made him sit out a year (and I think it was his Senior Year). EDIT: I think his name was MELTON
We sure have come a long way from that point haven't we? Now we go on SOCIAL MEDIA and brag that we will be playing for this team next year....
Makes me wonder, does that transfer rule still exist in the SCHSL rule book? Maybe it's just no longer enforced? Maybe they are afraid they would end up in court? Maybe with the GRAY, OCEANSIDE, etc they know it couldn't be defended in court....
I guess I'm getting too old and "longing for the good old days" like when trading baseball cards was a hobby and you got excited when you got your favorite players and not worried about how much this card was booking for in Beckett!

Re: TRANSFERS???
nick melton played his whole senior year at dorman. his dad had proof he "bought" a trailer in Roebuck. i think you must be thinking about wr xavier dye "moving" from greenwood to byrnes in 2006 and missing half of the season because greenwood appealed the move.
bomar and weaver live in the dorman school district and played varsity there in the ninth grade before "moving" to byrnes.

Re: TRANSFERS???
Don't get your panties in a wad, it happens everywhere (two consecutive transfer QB's ring a bell? and I'm hearing a third is happening as well...) I'm talking about the entire situation and how much it has changed. Melton had to appeal, threaten going to court, and yes, dye had to appeal as well. Kids move to play somewhere and have for many years, some are asked to move and some move because dad thinks they are going to be a star.notabyrnesfan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:52 amnick melton played his whole senior year at dorman. his dad had proof he "bought" a trailer in Roebuck. i think you must be thinking about wr xavier dye "moving" from greenwood to byrnes in 2006 and missing half of the season because greenwood appealed the move.
Today, they brag about it online... it is just so different!

Re: TRANSFERS???
This is the second reason I mentioned in my statement before about Dads.... have you met that man? WOW! They are good players, but those tempers have cost the team at times as well. I don't know how many UNSPORTSMAN LIKE PENALTIES were called....notabyrnesfan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:52 ambomar and weaver live in the dorman school district and played varsity there in the ninth grade before "moving" to byrnes.

Great players no doubt, but I noticed in the Hillside game they still need to work on their game.Rebel-Fan-74 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 12:05 pmThis is the second reason I mentioned in my statement before about Dads.... have you met that man?

Re: TRANSFERS???
i didnt take it personal at all. all three of our qbs have legit moved the latest one played SCISA ball and wants a taste of the bright lights on Friday night. #3 byrnes projected starting qb next season transferred from boiling springs. You want to talk about transfers. Dutch Fork had 24 players this season that werent on last years varsity or jv roster. i guess that is why it took them so long to gel!

I rest my case! Craziness doesn't begin to describe the SCHSL

DF has a gap somewhere on the team and miraculously just the right football player materializes...truly magic.
