Valencia strikes again!!!

[Madmun]

This whole deal just disgusts me. In your envy and dislike for a coach you hurt a young lady. Wow, I would be so proud of myself. In the scale of things, especially after all the horrible things that have happened to some of our states young kids this last few month, was this really worth it?

I am good friends with this girl's family. The stress and anguish it has caused this young lady is inexcusable. I am not for or against the CIF rule. It is what it is and until its changed then people should be able to do what they want to do.

But while you take pride in this, remember its always the kid you will be hurting - Congratulations!!

Remember she transferred for academics. That's what they told everybody so why the big deal about softball. Because they were lying and got caught. Deal with it. This whole thing is to get this transfer crap stopped and not to pick on any kids. The Canyon girl is a great kid. I feel bad she got talked into transferring by whoever and now she has to suffer. A girl from Saugus got caught last year, didn't hear a word from her she just played JV for a year. I think the big reason everybody is an in uproar is because somebody in the CIF finally stood up and said no to Valencia.

Why transfer to a school to play softball? I would think my DD would want to stay with her friends at the school she's supposed to. IMO the parents are to blame because they could've stopped the transfer if they wanted; HS softball isn't that important and for what don't they all play on the same travelball team?

Madmun, remember the rule states if you are transferring because of sports you can not play Varsity for a year. They knew the rule and rolled the dice.

Wow. AnderDUD just keeps stiring the pot. I would have thought all those visits to the psychologist would have helped. LET IT GO. What is it we teach the girls? Sportsmanship, and act like you've been there before. If you want to dance in celebration, do it in private.

"you feel bad" my ass. You're so full of it it's pathetic. You feel so bad you have how many posts on this subject? Lame.

The girl in question is a wonderful girl. She's the one who is hurting right now and your gloating doesn't help. Regardless of whether this was a "legal transfer" or not, let's focus on that. We have known the girl since she was 7 and I can only say great things about her, her work ethic and her attitude. Imagine how she might feel right now. Imagine our feelings for you who keeps stirring the pot, while putting her, her family and the Valencia program down.

The girl hasn't been able to play this year, but the Valencia program is alive and well, thank you. They beat the #3, 10 and 42nd teams in the nation at Nike last weekend. Not too shabby. All of the girls, despite what you "have been told" or "believe" have not been recruited to the school. The pitcher who transferred in last year from HW (oh wait, they do live in the school's area which you keep forgetting!) had a good season last year, and has made a great 1-2 punch from the circle this season along with the other pitcher who was co-mvp of the league. Maybe, instead of inferring that the HC recruits players (she doesn't), you give her a little credit for coaching ability. Or is it maybe there's some envy of a program looking for its 10th straight league title? Hmm, could it be that AnderDUD wishes his DD could be there? Perhaps so.

Yes my daughter goes to Valencia, and is proud to be part of the program. She doesn't start every game, but backs the team and coaches 100%. She doesn't whine about playing time and is on the fence cheering for whoever is playing. Take a lesson from her AnderDUD. Get on the fence, just cheer the girls, and if you have something you don't like, just STFU and deal with it...don't take others down the dark path with you.

Oh yeah, Happy Easter...He died on the cross for your sins too.

As long as the target school is okay with it, we should be able to send our kids to any school we want, for any damn reason we choose.

People actually draw salaries, paid by you, to meddle in your personal business in this way. How does that make you feel?

I have no dog in this fight but would like to point one thing out, the people that hurt this girl are the ones that convinced her that transferring was a good decision! I find it very hard to believe she made this decision on her own with out at least asking some of the adults close to her (coach's, parents) for advice and information about transferring. I would find it even harder to believe those adults did not look up the rules and then advise her. Sounds like they decided to take a chance and she's the one paying the price. THAT IS THE REAL TRAGEDY IN ALL OF THIS.

It's ALIVE!!!

And who is to blame?!?

Finally some wisdom on this thread. Dodgerblue maybe she should ask you for advice.

I've heard she is miserable because she let people talk her into making a bad choice. I also heard she still goes to Canyon Football and Baseball games.

I think she learned a life lesson here. Sometimes Father doesn't know best!

Bruwinfan that pretty much sums it up..

Madmun, remember the rule states if you are transferring because of sports you can not play Varsity for a year. They knew the rule and rolled the dice.

There are other kids playing this season under the same scenario. These are good people following in the footsteps of many families before them... just those kids/families didnt have a ex-coach, a principal plus an anderdud with a stick up thier arse about losing her. With or without HS varsity softball this kid is going bigtime D1 with a ride of some kind. Scoreboard.
