The only way to stop cheating is there to be no rules. Let kids play where they want to play. At the end of the day what difference does it make? The only people wanting to restrict transfers are those that want to maintain a competitive advantage under the guise of protecting the community. NIL about to change it all up anyway. Private schools about to dominate. Mix in vouchers and public schools will essentially become rec league teams unless UIL allows public schools to be competitive in the NIL realm.

The victim mentality you have for gunter is mind blowing. Poor us, no one will play us that can’t beat us because we just too good, boo hoo. Just because the UIL doesn’t have the sack to hold gunter accountable to cooking the books doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Everyone knows what they do that’s why they can’t find games. As someone else mentioned how is it every school surrounding gunter grew but gunter didn’t even with building permits higher then ever? You can piss down everyone’s back but they know it ain’t raining.

There is no honor in getting blown out. Stupidity and bravery are often erroneously interchanged.

Celina can name their score. Gunter punching way too high. Elliot will call off the dogs and score may look respectable but Celina will dominate.

Gunter gonna get smoked by both Celina and Anna. If they keep it within four scores that would be a good showing for gunter.

Thinking gunter fans would ever be humble was a miscalculation on my part for sure. As far as Celina and Anna playing you guys sometimes teams are just looking for a sure win at home. It’s like Alabama vs. Western Kentucky, gunter is Western Kentucky in this scenario just to be clear.

Kids transferring to be a part of a more successful sports program is the very definition of moving for athletic purposes which is supposed to be illegal. Heck even moving to a place because they better athletic facilities would be moving for athletic purposes. The cheating is in plain site. These schools building these opulent facilities are building them as much for the players they don't have as much as for the players they do have. Its an arms race for sure. Just ask them they will tell you as much.

The truth is I don’t think anyone is too interested in fixing the issue. Might as well make every district an open district to level the playing field. The same teams winning big every year defies the law of randomness. Why are those teams 30-40 kids always better then everyone else’s? Because its not random. The teams that are winning year in year out have better players because they have figured out how to get better players. No one community is always going to have the best talent that is 100% homegrown.

The gunter folks need to eat a little humble pie and understand where they fit in the hierarchy of Texas HS football. Anna and Celina are going to force feed them that pie.

UIL wouldn’t even need to get involved if the head coaches and AD’s would do the right thing. DEC’s are a waste of time because rarely does anyone want to contest a transfer because they may be back at the same table asking for one to be approved. The real issue in my opinion is how effects the kids that have poured their heart and soul into a program only to see themselves be cast aside because a of transfer. Especially when everyone knows, including the coaches, that the transfer moved for athletic purposes. I just don’t get the trading character for wins but most coaches justify it in their minds.

Might not look like a blowout because the Anna and Celina coaches will have the class to not run it up too bad but it won’t be competitive after the 1st quarter.

Anna would mudhole gunter.

Does he still have the fire or is he just looking for one last payday? He is in a great situation to succeed. Especially if the district remains close to the same as now, not much competition except maybe Melissa but they are hamstrung by their HC. I expect it will be LJ and SOC going at it most years in region 2 until one of the two HC’s hang it.

Padilla all state teams have ZERO credibility. It just quid pro quo scheme for him to get subscribers to his hack publication.
