Not taking away from the three children…. There has got to be a better way to keep this from happening. 2 years from the playoffs from football.

Every other school handled their business. POINT BLANK WE DID NOT. And it’s the kids that ultimately suffer. It’s embarrassing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Alto superintendent, the coach was let go sometime in the winter months...she says no one was aware of the enrollment until May so if everyone is correct on the timeline then Coach Gamble had nothing to do with it.

neveragain Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I feel bad for the new coaches...they took a job at a D2 school with real state championship hopes and now they are not able to compete for a playoff spot. That has to be very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBizzle Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 So those three kids would have put them in D1? So if not, nobody would have noticed and it wouldn't have mattered. Did they self report? How did it get found out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGreenDogs64 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 It sounds like the administration doesn't have their ducks in a row. Shouldn't there be a running log of students enrolled? I feel bad for the kids, they are the victims here. Most of the coaches were previously at Alto, so they already had an idea for how incompetent the administration was.

HJR7 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Why not fine the school or forfeit a district game or something. Why punish the kids? And would the UIL allow Srs and Jrs to transfer freely since basically they have nothing to play for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueflu Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The teams who are down in that district are asking "why do we have to play them". uil could have said play outlaw schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many schedules affected. Not only that, look at it from the perspective of a coach who might be on the playoff bubble in his district. What reason does he have to invite another potential playoff team to the party? He could be setting someone up to bump him out of the postseason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them went to Center in 2021 and came back to Alto in 2022. These facts check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 This whole thing disappoints me..who in the cornbread hell is running the shop down there? Somebody was supposed to know these things,it's literally somebody's job to count kids every day..guess we'll blame this on putin too this debacle has probably cost a few student athletes that have put in the work,both in the classroom and on the field/courts a chance to further their career /education....wow,if I'm one of the parents of these kids...I'd be burnt smooth up,we'd be having discussion of who is turning in the resignation first for deriliction of dutys..jeez,my alto brothers gotta be hurting rite now,sorry for the seniors... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotton84 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Will be interesting to see if any of the district teams decide not to play them…….might happen if a few starters are banged up and need a week off for the rest of district or the playoffs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueflu Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I give kudos to supt and how she handled it today. She is having to deal with huge mess, stood up and was very professional. This is a very small school district. Wish them the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
