I live in poverty. My car may not start in the morning. The roof is leaking at the back of my house. No computer in my house. Oh look some one is going to give me 7000 dollars. What does anyone really think is going to happen with that money ? This thing is DOA

Right now they do not, but part of House Bill 2 would allow homeschooled students to play with their public school. I get it. These families pay school taxes. I also pay school taxes despite the fact my two kids are grown. I pay taxes on lots of things I don't have access to or need because they support the common good. A family who homeschools or sends their kids to private school have actively decided to not take advantage of a public service that is being offered. That's totally fine. I just don't think they should be given public money because of that choice.

These kids nowadays are so dramatic. The kid is basically admitting he’s transferring just to play sports. If the MHSAA allows him to transfer they should be ashamed. But i wouldn’t be surprised if Loyd star is freely releasing him. I heard either he or his family had become an issue. Regardless, I have a feeling he’s going to find out the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. He was blessed to be in the offensive system that Loyd Star ran, which gave him the ball 25+ times a game, and allowed him to rush for a ton of yards against weak opponents almost every week. In any other offensive system, he doesn’t come close to putting up the same rushing stats. I think he’s about to learn a harsh lesson, and it appears it will be his and his family’s own doing.

I hate that someone takes offense to all the Wayne County Threads. So please if you respond to this thread please post where you’re from. I have a lot of friends here and have lost a few from here through the years like OldTiger and Tib just imagine what their Christmas was like this morning.

That’s true too,lol. But I meant from wareagle fan . To this day when someone asks me where I’m from i say Wayne County. My wife is retiring in about five years more or less and when ahe does we are going back to south ms.

Why do high school students need to be paid to play football or any other sport for that matter? A public education is a free education.

HB2 is written to allow funds for only 12,500 (max) in the first year. There aren’t 2 separate pools of students. Public & private are in the same pool. Including families with students already paying private school tuition for their students. There is no uppermost income limit to receive a voucher. That’s one of many issues wrong with HB2. Another one is the fact that students don’t have to be leaving a “failing” school in order get the voucher. When HB2 says “chocie” they really mean it. Vouchers can go anywhere - including private - for any reason. You don’t have to state why you want to leave where you are.

Runningman, I wouldn’t necessarily call it momentum. It’s more like maintaining the status quo. To try to put this into the right context without being so blunt, these Alabama coaches leave a whole lot to be desired. Simply put, they fall short and a school like Biloxi is perfectly ok with that.

And they shouldn’t. They wouldn’t have to adhere to the daily schedule, discipline codes, grade requirements, etc normal, in school athletes have to adhere to in able to play and compete.

They are a few including the Quarterback. Several people don’t know that a coaching change took place for basketball just a few weeks before school started. WC actually brought in one of their own to coach imagine that lol.

Talked to a Florida coach over the weekend. Here is what is happening down there after school choice. I'm going to use MS schools as an example. Three sport athlete, parents have the means, goes to Tupelo to play football, season ends and transfers to Starkville to play basketball. Season ends and then goes to Madison Central to play baseball. He said this is happening in their state right now with school choice.

Just became public in the last year. It’s been trending that direction for 5-10 years. Talent is everywhere at Grenada problem is keeping it off the street. Sadly it is reaching a tipping point and it seems to be headed the wrong direction. There are several good candidates and coaches that would be crazy not to want this job. Grenada is loaded in junior high. Next year will be about like this past year but will be Sophomore and Junior laden. Grenada went after a PROVEN winner the last time and it paid off for the entire community despite grumbling at first. Will they do the same this time and continue to make the kids the priority and continue to put a great program together or will the superintendent, AD and assistant AD cave to the pressure and hire the person that checks the box on their political agenda to keep their jobs and destroy everything Fair and honestly Kuhn built during their tenures. I know from what I’ve heard about it. They’re thinking about themselves and Grenada will be right back to 5-6 and 4-7 seasons before we know it. I expect nothing less from a former band director, tennis coach and yes man.

Indy for the win!!!! Wow what a great game!!! Mendoza with the run of the decade!!!

Grenada has had severe issues this past year or so and I don't blame Fair for evacuating ASAP.

We are only counting the 8th thru 10th grade right now that will be this October 2026 9th thru 11th grades.

HONEST ANSWER: Firstly, if a public school has issues, we need to fix the issues - not just use ineffective bandaids called HB2 that don’t help ALL the students in that school and don’t fix the root problem. Secondly, we all pay taxes for all kinds of public services. We may choose to opt out of some of those programs and never use others. That’s part of being a citizen & responsible member of the community. And those are your choices - like choosing homeschool or private school. Strong communities benefit us all. (THAT is the “good” you question.) Lastly, if your argument is that you should get to choose where your tax dollars go or get money back for public services you don’t use, you’re opening a WIDE door there - not just for retirees and all others who have no children utilizing public education… but also for those who don’t use Medicare, don’t regularly access public roads and highways, aren’t on WIC, SNAP & all types of other assistance programs. The list is long.

sound like raiders 10 need to up his donations to maybe buy better players.

I mean the guy has led State to three straight NCAA tournaments. This year has been a struggle but it seems people have the patience of a Gnat these days. This microwave society that we live in today is just completely absurd. The season is barely half over and some knuckleheads are wanting him on the hot seat. Really? Let the season play out and then make an assessment on how he is doing. If everyone had this attitude in 1988-89-90, Richard Williams would have been fired. And there would have been no 1991 SEC Championship, no 1995 Sweet Sixteen, no 1996 Final Four…. completely ridiculous….

Coordinator a OK football program winning District Champs 5 times since 1984 with 1 championship out of 3 since 1948.

I've heard that FT's go for 250k a pop nowadays

I think you missed the point…

Also still cannot get over the fact that BOC is younger than Lemonis. He’s a 54 year old that can pass for 70 lol.

To me, if this were about helping students in failing schools get better access, this bill would only be for those students. If you live in an F or D rated district, attend public school and want to go to another one in a better position or even a private school, then I could see offering some financial help if the family is low on the SES scale. But half of the vouchers are aimed for students who are already in private schools. That's a giveaway program under the guise of helping students.

Have you heard if he is leaving?

I’d say there is a fair chance this gets filled in the next week or so

If Washington School keeps recruiting like they have been so far this semester, they might end up like Covid GCS if this bill passes.

I think Indiana’s coach has proven himself and he can do it without star players. I don’t know about Golding. OM will miss Kiffin and his offense and his game planning. Plus they have a much tougher schedule next year. They benefited the last two from a favorable schedule. OM won’t go 2-10 though because they will get players with their collective. All the praise for Golding is premature. Not saying he won’t be a good coach, he’s been hyped too much and Kiffin devalued too much in my opinion. Same with Texas Tech. Not sure about the coaching, but they’re going to spend some money.

House Bill 2 is 553 pages. Changes will be made. Taking public money to private schools should be the first change.

MHSAA does not allow for homeschooling to play sports. But man can you imagine having 15 home schooled kids at $105,000 income. Someone better regulate these folks.

Sending that much to a homeschool will be the same stealing in Minnesota day cares.

Kicked the two long field goals. Kiffin would have never done that.

This is exactly what I've thought about including homeschooled families in this bill. Not everyone homeschools for the right reasons. If this bill passes as written (probably not) then no only can someone homeschool with a voucher their kid can now play sports with their local public school. Many who homeschool do a great job but I think the numbers who don't do anything with their kids will increase if they are given a financial incentive to do so.

State testing doesn’t mean good education, my kids were taught how to take the test. Nothing else- at an”A” rated school!

Greenville has a large almost 500 9th grade class. They will be moving up from what I can tell. I do question the large number but I looked at it 3 times as I looked at the bottom 6 of the current 7A list. Greenville will be that team moving up.

Some states allow unlimited transfers as long as the student can get to school, regardless of location. For instance, Choctawhatchee in Fort Walton Beach, Florida this season had several transfer starters from Pensacola - two counties away. Potential litigation moves things nowadays more than what is fair.

John King has stopped Taylorsville students from transferring out now he can't and will the principal file the complaints going forward. And remember the deadline in this bill is March 15th. No transfers after March 15th of 2027 and be eligible for fall of 2028 should this bill be signed by the governor.

I also realize that Carthage absorbed Thomastown & Edinburg, but why couldn't they just stay the Carthage Tigers? If the whole Leake County/Leake Central mascot and color thing was just a coincidence it makes it confusing as heck.

Agreed that some of these smaller counties need to consolidate and no real need for 3 superintendent offices in these smaller populated counties.

Boom! I was hoping someone was going there. If that situation occurs and Kiffin was coaching, Ole Miss does not attempt a FG in those situations.

i think Lane might have used simmons in short yardage situations and I figure he would have gone for it on 4th down both times in the 1st quarter and not attempted the FG's and ended up losing the game.

The MHSAA usually only investigates if a complaint is made or if something on the transfer form looks off, not living with parents, moving from House to an apartment, whole family didn’t move, etc…. A lot of times they send someone from the school to check on it. They should have someone outside the schools investigating anything like this posted on Twitter and check it more than once. I’ve seen both sides where a kid I thought should be eligible made ineligible and a kid (at my school) I thought should be ineligible made eligible.

OSU better get a TD on the first possession of the 3rd

What exactly is a legit reason? No need to keep anyone that doesn't want to be kept. As long as all basis are covered I'm cool with it.

You should have been given the chance with those kids the next season. It was the covid year and by the end of the season you had turned the corner with them . I watched several of those games in person and they got better every game . By the time ya'll won the last game in Picayune they had learned how to turn it on and found some playmakers. That last game is still a better win than anything that the Alabama con man has done. During the span since then he has proceed to beat those kids into the ground and left limping from his crap offense that he lied about running before he was hired. So I apologize for not going harder in calling for you to be retained. You were Wayne County to the core. Still are. They did you wrong bro. I know it caused you hardship too. Like the rest of us you have to leave your home so they may stay. If anyone has a case to be coaching the War Eagles it's you.

We need another message board to simply discuss all things Wayne County. Currently 3 topics discussing Wayne County. Starting to look like Enterprise topics.

There definitely is, depending on which school is getting and which school is losing the transfer.

Tulane, JMU, or any other G5 teams have no business playing in the playoffs.This has to be fixed, do away with the automatic conference bids and get the top 12 ranked teams in the playoffs regardless of what conference they're in. If they must have a G5 let the top two have a play in game the week before the playoffs begin.

Screw Enterprise and screw you too if you don't like it . Look at the views on my topics . Start one on your post and see how much interest it draws, It's people with your mindset that are the reason why a lot of places have had the life drained out of the town and no one knows why .

Then get rid of the crony who was just hired a top the whole Ed system. I assure you that he isn't about much other than himself and treats every individual as a number. i know him personally. I taught my kids the difference in what a teacher was supposedly teaching and what real life is. I know plenty people who i went to college with from private schools who made good grades as we all did but theirs wasn't free but was in many cases much safer and a better classroom environment. It all boils down to parents and how some were raised. The public schools will continue to raise a generation of moochers who are told at a young age they aren't capable of the same accomplishments as certain others are. And their test scores will be exemplary.

lol!!!
