HS Newspaper Suspended For Publishing Investigation Into Football Players' Transfers

1. I didn't have to read the article to know why but I did. We had the same thing go on in my town

with our American Legion baseball team. They were always favorites to win their district title and possible world series contenders. I was in junior high and a couple buddies older brothers were on the team. This kid from the southern part of the state shows up for tryouts and says he's transferring to go to school here and is allowed to play.

It turns out he's awesome and has a cannon arm! A lot of people were pissed and he and his parents were not treated well. He ended up not going to school here or playing for them the next year as planned. I know the coaches son back then and he was a legendary coach and athletic director at our high school. I should ask him what he thought or remembers about the whole thing. I imagine his dad had that forced on him somehow. I can't see him knowingly bringing in a ringer like that.
