Haney to the Poo?

The Dora coach was voted out as principal even before the Final Four. He is not tenured as a teacher at Dora. Haney lives in West Plains.
So my question is this. If his parents lived in West Plains, how does the Haney kid get to play for Dora for 3 years? Maybe because the coach had him since he was in 3rd grade playing with them? Something does not add up? Did he pay tuition to attend Dora?
 
Around West Plains there are five or six K-8 schools that are there own school districts. The kids then can choose to go to several different high schools including West Plains, Koshkonong, Dora, Bakersfield and maybe a couple of others. The K-8 schools still get the money from the state for their students in high school and they pay the tuition at whichever high school they attend. Haney went to K-8 Richards which is on the north side of West Plains and then chose to attend Dora for high school.

Latest rumor is that a total of 4 players from Yanders Law transferring to Poo. Including one from the state of Arkansas

Wasn’t he a freshman or sophomore before he went to Dora?

The rich getting richer while the rest of us are just trying to survive. And they wonder why interest is at an all-time low.

Rumor not true. There’s not even a YL player from Arkansas at that age level.

Want to get really mad? Aminu tried to transfer to Glendale last year, but the pocketbook at Greenwood said they’d spend whatever necessary to fight it. So instead he stayed, and the pocketbook bought a couple freshmen (one of which would’ve been at Poo) to play with Aminu.

Oh, I hadn't heard that one. Damn! Pinegar money talks, I guess. They tried to get Carter Harrell from us. I'm glad he stayed. He'll end up third all-time in scoring at Glendale by 2022. Hopefully, we'll be in Class 5 (out of 6) and make a state run then as well.

You have a good group of freshmen coming in. The Poo/Glendale games will be appointment viewing in a couple years. Lots of talent.

Carter Harrell went from Greenwood to Glendale... Cameron Maes went from Ozark to Glendale. Glendale isn’t the poor victim here either. Everyone in SPS gets transfers.
 
I'm not sure why people are all up in arms about Haney transferring to Poo. He's going to play for MSU so the logical place for the family to move -with the Luna's out at Dora - would be to Springfield, wouldn't you think? This is also where he trains and will save the nearly two hour drive from West Plains that Haney had been making in the past.

From their standpoint, everything makes sense as to why they would move to Springfield. He picked Poo over Glendale and the other schools? Tough shit... Plenty of reasons to go there, and plenty of reasons to not go to the other schools.

Not difference making talent nor the numbers of transfers. Don't give me 2-3 when several other schools in the area have gotten well over a dozen the last twenty years.

Typical rich get richer Trumpian attitude that is killing our country! It was an inside, AAU deal, which I think is destroying high school sports (in particular boys basketball).

Oh, no!!!! The kiss of death!!!!!

I've been let down so many times by this-or-that supposedly great freshmen group...I just hate even hearing people talk about it!!!!

Let's see...2007 we were supposed to go all the way, then 2009, then 2012, then 2018...on and on and on and the same results every time.

As far as Glendale-Kickapoo being appointment viewing, that hasn't been the case since the early-90's!!!!!! I'd like for it to be true, but Glendale needs TO ACTUALLY WIN THAT GAME on a regular basis for it to be appointment viewing!!!!! We're like 10-32 against Kickapoo starting with the 94-95 season.
 
Don’t know why you’re mad at everyone on mosports for your team letting you down all those years they were “supposed to go all the way”
 
I’m sorry that Glendale has fallen on hard time and you can’t be relevant let’s get a go fund me acct set up for your psychiatric care
 
So what's your solution? It's a free country and people can move to whatever school district they want. It happens every day, for various reasons - academic, social, demographics, and yes, athletic ones.

I'm definitely not a Trump fan but in this case, not sure what exactly you are looking for other than to gripe. There really is nothing we can do if someone wants to move to a particular school district and send their kid to that school, is there?

I mean you can do it only so many times, and it can't be blatantly for athletic reasons, but how do you prove that? All the family has to say is that they liked the curriculum or the quality of the education they can get at this or that school, or whatever - financial, social, etc... The Christian Kirk situation is one time out of dozens of times people have moved at least in part due to athletic reasons that was shot down by MSHSAA, but that was an altogether odd situation and I'm not even sure MSHSAA declaring him ineligible was the correct move.

It would help if just one of your last three coaches was liked. Well, one was, but he kept showing up to practice drunk. When the 2 leading scorers in school history are actively telling kids to not play for their coach it’s an issue. I mean, you hate kids transferring, but are ok when a kids step-brother was hired on coaching staff to make sure the player went to Glendale? Seems a little strange.

I have nothing to do with any of that. Take it up with the school board and the coaches involved.

I will say that it would help if the kids had a better attitude (on and off the court) and played tougher defense, which has been Glendale's weak spot in recent times.

I never understood the 2011-12 group playing poorly on purpose to make Williamson look bad instead of just winning the games for themselves.

The #1 problem at Glendale in the sport of boys basketball going back to 1963 has been an overall softness in big (post-season) games, NOT the coaching. It's on the players to perform on the court, not the fans, students, and parents in the stands.

Hopefully, this in-coming frosh group and Harrell/Ledgerwood in 2021-22 will make a run and I won't have to harp on these issues endlessly. However, all the city games this coming season will be turbo clock wins for the 'POO.

Now it’s official—‘Poo gonna have 4 D1 players starting. They’re gonna be TOUGH
 
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Sometimes having multiple players who are used to having the ball in their hands doesn't work out so well.
 
Haney NEVER lived in Dora. He also didn't go to a K-8.

You are correct he never lived in Dora, he didn't have to because he lived in a K-8 district that had the option to go to Dora to high school. Check out these newspaper stories.

A lot of whining in this thread. Whining about poo, Trump, the rich, etc... Good lord trying fixing yourself or your program and stop worrying about others.

Seems logical for him to go to Springfield. If he was my son and that was the situation (driving back and forth from Dora area each day), I'd probably try to move as well so he plays better/bigger schools and be close to him for college

Can't fix "my program" if all the difference making talent goes to one school and you're left with bread crumbs.
 
What exactly is “difference making” talent? If a guy isn’t high major D1 he isn’t a difference maker? Or just in hindsight if they didn’t win enough for you to be satisfied they weren’t a difference maker?
 
It has nothing to do with ME being satisfied. THEY should want to beat Kickapoo. THEY should want to win the OC. THEY should want to win districts. THEY should want to (FINALLY AT LONG LAST) bring home a state title to southeast Springfield. My goals for the program ARE (and should be and BETTER BE) the goals THEY have. Period!

I think it's very clear what difference making talent is and means. Deep post-season runs, taking over a game, etc. Brady Petry literally took Hillcrest to the state title game on his back in 2015, I don't Glendale has had a player like that in quite some time.

I don't know anything about the football team recruiting. The results have been an improvement from the era directly after Coach Price retired, so I'm very pleased with beating Kickapoo most of the time (BOY I WISH THE BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM WOULD DO THAT!!!) and the 11-1 team in 2016.

According to the news story on the move, the family had been driving back and forth for 7 years, so I don't think the drive was that big of an issue. I don't have an issue with this transfer specifically, I just feel that MSHSAA needs to either have a set standard of 365 regardless, or none at all. It's just like the NCAA with their transfers, turning a blind eye to some while taking a hardline on others arbitrarily isn't right, especially when coaches can come and go as they please. It was a rumor that he was going to transfer to Kickapoo last summer because of the possible consequences for the triplet switching that made national news. the Coach wasn't fired last year, so they stayed, won their championship, and now they have all gone their separate ways after the Dora board didn't renew his contract this year.
