Piketon Basketball

How will the Streaks look in 16-17? Will the strong senior class be an indication for improvement? Wanted to hear from the Piketon posters, because at the convo it dawned on me that the streaks were not there, and this is rare recently.

Losing the Perdue kid hurt this year.. Any idea why he left?

Rumors fly when a kid transfers. Rumors include coaching problems, recruiting, it's also rumored a couple others from Piketon are headed that direction.lol If that happens it will def have an impact on the future of Red Streak basketball. As I said...rumors.

Ya, rumors are just rumors but it hurts when it actually happens. Waverly lost 6 kids to Eastern 2 years ago, they are Freshmen this year, and two left after football this year, not freshmen.

Sorry, I know that has nothing to do with Piketon basketball ball, just referencing rumors.

Should probably start a new thread for this question, but since Piketon seems to be facing transfer issues, I'm gonna ask. If they are enforcing stricter guidelines on transferring, then how is it so easy to up and transfer without the kid not having to sit his/her required games? The old guidelines were as long as they transferred before their freshman year. I believe the sitting of games is what prevents many from playing the "transfer game".

I agree, they should of stuck with the older guidelines on transfer. Once you leave after your Freshman year than you must sit out that year. If your family moves, you have a physical street address, and you ACTUALLY live in that house than you should be able to play if you transfer after your freshman year. If the OHSAA lets kids transfer without penalty than why have the rule. What is the actually rule? I thought you could transfer back to your home school and not be penalized?

The basic transfer bylaw is quite simple. If a student transfers at any time after the fifth day of the student’s ninth grade year or after having established eligibility by playing in a contest (scrimmage, preview/jamboree, Foundation game or regular season/tournament contests) until the one year anniversary of the date or enrollment in the school to which the student transferred, the student shall be ineligible for all contests (including all scrimmages, preview/jamboree/Foundation game) until after the first 50% of the maximum allowable* regular season contests in those sports in which the student participated during the twelve months immediately preceding the transfer have been competed.

Below is the list of situations that make a student eligible for the whole season.

I apologize if I have opened a can of worms here, I assure you I did not mean to.

I hope all kids stay put. I do not agree with transferring for athletics only without considering several other factors (number one being academics and college/life preparation).

Nonetheless, what does Piketon bring back next year? How were their JV and 8th teams?

I thought that's where them kids came from was waverly.
