So, the state's report cards and test results are able to show the total job that a school does? I wasn't aware that South Webster was churning out Rhode's Scholars left and right. I'm amazed that Webster isn't a larger, thriving metropolis with all of the academic juggernauts it is graduating. With the sarcasm aside, South Webster has done extremely well on the state's report card, but what has that translated into? Why attack another school based off of numbers that even the state's educators and administrators recognize as flawed. Why not call out the sub par job that just about all of this counties' schools (except a few) are doing according to the numbers?bbjunky81 wrote:I would like to think DS's parents value education more than athletics.

But, then again, several parents out there thank Little Johnny is a superstar and academics don't matter.

East produces plenty of kids who do perform well academically, are prepared for college, and do go on to successful careers. East has some excellent staff members who do a tremendous job with what they have. There are excellent educators all over this county who do a great job all things considered. That said, I would love for East's scores to improve. They can do better. Truly informed and educated people also know that those scores can only paint part of the picture of the job that schools are doing.
Well worded, and I agree completely. Africentric is loaded again though, and I don't see any SE Ohio teams going up against that college of a team.TheSportsGuy wrote:I agree with you completely about the transferring solely for athletics. I don't think it would be a "drastic" step back academically. Again, that's beyond the point I think we are both in agreement on. I really wish the state could find a way of enforcing the rules or implementing rules that prevented it. The problem starts with the parents though. Either the kid is the one making the decision (which is terrible) or the parents are making it for the wrong reasons.
No one from East (other than asb) is advocating this move. East will be fine. They do have an excellent shot at a District title this season, and don't have a single senior. A state run is the ultimate goal for all teams even though improbable for most. Depending on the quality/matchup from the reps from the central district, I think a southeast DIV team this year and next has a very good shot at a final four appearance.
Sorry for posting off topic in this thread. Congrats to Minford on another league title. Still very much to be proud of with what they have accomplished the last few years. Still the most productive stretch in their school's basketball history if I'm not mistaken.

Don't forget Kyle Lemmon. He is the overall highedt scoring graduate of Minford. Albeit, his first three years were at South Webster.BBaller4Life wrote:Yeagle 1518

Other than the 1950s, this is the best era of Minford basketball...ever. The seniors won more games than any class in history, played the toughest schedule of any team in SOC history in 14-15, and have won 3 of 4 SOC titles.
Minford has not won a game at the Convo since 1995. That's four coaches and twenty years ago. You want disappointment and underachievement - look at the sectional banner for the year missing in the 90s run - Minford started a D1 athlete, the leading scorer in South Webster history, a 6'10 guy, a college baseball player, and had a 6'5 guy coming off the bench with another 1000 point scorer. They went 10-11. That's something to complain about...
Who was the lock down defender for this team? After Rowe and Kelly who could create their own shot? Minford was an athletically challenged team this year. We could not guard man to man, definitely could not press, and only had one ball handler. One of the starters was 3/4ths of the year.
Be happy that they won the league. Also "falconfan" you are not a falcon or a fan, so please change your I.D.
