Well, I do not blame Carver or their administration for what has happened there. I blame the Forsyth Co. school board for implementing open enrollment. Though, I think Carver has started out 3-0 so maybe they can get something going this season. It just makes me ill to see what has happened there and that not that long ago they were a 3A power winning a state title.I coached at Carver that last decent playoff run in 2A and while open enrollment is a part of the issue it's not the primary issue. It's no longer enough to tell parents to send their kids to a school simply because it's in their district. Kids now want to compete at programs that have 5 man sleds and tackling dummies. They want to be at schools that have a sense of pride about themselves. It's noted some of the reasons Carver and other schools are where they are. Some of it system and some self inflicted. You're asking parents to turn a blind eye to a better situation for their child. Yes if you're good colleges will find you but it also doesn't hurt to have those colleges at your high school already as a destination because of a pipeline or relationship with a coach. Why shouldn't a parent pave a better road for their child? I'm a traditionalist and Ole school but I even understand loyalty is pretty much over. We can't even get universities to be loyal to conferences nevermind players and coaches loyal to teams anymore. The only loyalty a parent should have is to the best situation for their child. If it's works out I'm the district school God bless them but stop vilifying parents for seeking the best interest for their child especially if they're within the confines of the rules. If your kid can play and stays in one of the aforementioned districts you all expect a parent to choose those over EF or WF? That's not realistic and it's delusional now that it's within the rules. Shoot the top lawyers go to the top firms right? Or at least Suits has me thinking that. 😆
