Fairland starts 2 seniors, 2 juniors and a sophomore. 3 freshmen off the bench.bbjunky81 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 10:25 am Yeah, I think we're overthinking the whole private thing a bit here.

Lets not forget that Fairland's boys program has been on the winning side of transfers WAY MORE THAN they've lost kids, so bashing private schools seems a little strange here.
Fairland girls team this year is one of the, if not the best SEO girls team I've seen. They do every single thing well. The scary part is, they don't even start a single senior. Wow. It wouldn't shock me if they win it all this year and next.
Fairland boys and transfers ? . I helped coach just about everyone on the Final Four team when they were in buddy league ,so if youre counting transferring to a school when you just learned how to ride a bike , I guess thats a possibilty .bbjunky81 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 10:25 am Yeah, I think we're overthinking the whole private thing a bit here.

Waverly Boys was the only D2 PUBLIC School in the Final 4 last year....

If Fairland makes it to the Final Four and loses to a private school , Im all for hanging a banner reading , 2022-23 PUBLIC SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONS .
The Howell kid that moved in from Gallia learned to ride a bike in 8th grade? That's strange.84Dragon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 11:17 amFairland boys and transfers ? .

Fairland girls may win it all this year but next year , Portsmouth begins their four year undefeated state title reign.
Your saying the Howell kid is because Fairland boys had that run he wouldn't have even started if I was coachbbjunky81 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 12:55 pmThe Howell kid that moved in from Gallia learned to ride a bike in 8th grade?

Fairland girls are D2 and Portsmouth is comfortably D3. Unless Fairland anticipates dropping a division, that won't be a concern.
Portsmouth kids and coaches will have to learn some discipline if they are going to do anything84Dragon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 11:17 amFairland boys and transfers ? .

Yes , I have to agree with that. I guess it might be a little harder for publics to "recruit" but the bigger schools manage just fine .TheFlyingDutchman wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 1:08 pmA coach from Pickerington talking about others recruiting, that’s priceless
