As long as they either attended eighth grade in the district OR play JV their freshman year that's by the book and I won't complain about that, fair and square. The rule sucks IMHO but it isn't "play fair" if some don't follow the rules. I don't know that any Zillah transfer hasn't been bona fide so I'm not accusing them in particular, just saying there's been a lot of mail box transfers in the past.

I’d implore coaches, ADs and those who affect the school’s sports culture to put ethics above advantage. Kids will be kids but that doesn’t make adults not responsible.
