Now, answer my question as to why he transfered after his Jr year from the, in your own words, "football powerhouse" of Parkview. When I called GAC a football powerhouse it was tounge in cheek because they are not. What GAC IS, can in no way be concidered an elite academic school. Which is why King chose to transfer there. Not Westminster, not Pace, not ANY of the truly academic private schools in ATL area.
I WILL believe the faculty member of GAC that told me he should never have been admitted into GAC because of his grades. I WILL believe the GAC faculty member that told me he was "helped along" in his studies.
Good luck to your son in his school. |
Westminster and Pace are way out of the price range for most families, and they're in different areas of town from where he lives. I don't know why he transferred and neither do you, we're both speculating. I do know this for a fact though, since I've been through the process, the GHSA is very, very, very strict on these issues. They investigate EVERY case of transfers with a fine tooth comb when it comes to athletics. My son had to play jv soccer his jr year after transferring, even though he would have been a star on the varsity. We did everything we could to get GHSA to allow him to play but they would not bend one iota. He's now in his sr year and headed on to college to play. Now when I see where a kid transferred in GA, I know that it's above board. King transferred, he made his grades, he passed his SAT and he's at UGA, where I'd bet he will be very successful. Our debating won't change any of those facts. Thanks for the well wishes for my son. Good luck to the Vols on '09, except for one game.
