Defense, I think that you have helped to illustrate why my idea (requiring A teams to only play other A teams (subject to an exception for areas where the # of teams is below a certain number)) would work. "A" teams could travel around the state to play better A teams as much as they want...

KrauteBache: At least you throw out ideas, I personally don't like being forced to play games only in your class or being forced to play all section teams. The MSHSL does not set up sections based on competive reasons. This is reason enough to not do it. You would have teams like Little Falls or Wi...

Maybe this has already been proposed (and if so I apologize for not reading the past 10 years of postings on this forum). But maybe a step towards encouraging teams that shouldn't be in "A" to move up to "AA" would be to prohibit "A" teams from playing "AA" t...

I believe it's healthy to debate the issue of transfers of our high school athletes. However to single out any one athlete and to do so with incorrect information is reckless and cowardly. Knowing the family that the author references personally I can assure you all the following: 1. The student at...

What I've heard is fair minded families move their player and he plays JV a year as the rule states. Families that fuss and want it their way can hire an attorney and threaten the MSHSL with a lawsuit. The MSHSL isn't interested in litigating these cases so they're allowed. Totally unfair but then ...

I guess what I am still curious about is when a student lives in the duluth school district and would normally go to either Denfeld or East, but chooses to enter Duluth Marshall as a sophmore, junior or senior. Are they to play JV for a year as they obviously can not fulfill the "move residenc...

You are correct. In a state where everyone makes the playoffs, forfeiting past games doesn't hurt anyone.

It would hurt if the "past games" were section playoff games! It would be a mess, but it would certainly hurt.

Re: Transfers

Face it, if you have the will, the money, and a coach that will take you, the transfer rule can be completely circumvented. Happens every year. Look at Eagan. Rosemount kids go there last year by the family "moving" into an apartment. This year a goalie shows up from out of state, and the...

the MSHSL would not do anything, just because his family can afford to own a house in two different cities does not give him a right to get around the rule. If he really wanted to go to edina he would have gone there freshman year. Merely owning a house in two different cities does not get someone ...

Hill Murray won, and EP leads Edina after 2 (3-2). The stars just may align for us yet, blindref! Please thank Coach Smith for me if they hold on to win (and of course I'll be sure to mention him in my speech).
