Of the 5 teams mentioned above, Wharton is arguably the greatest one-hit wonder ever.  5 years after opening, the school made the 5A state final, where they lost to Ely.  The future looked bright for Wharton.  But since then, Wharton has only won 3 playoff games, including one this year.

Wharton has a chance to do a little rebuilding now.   This year was a good start for them.  Their new head coach will bring a certain amount of excitement to the program that might be enough to keep existing talent there and possibly even attract new talent.   That coach is Mike Williams, former Plant/USC/Detroit Lion (and other NFL teams) WR.    Whether he's good enough to overcome the Nolebull hex remains to be seen.  B)

That was my senior year! We had Richard Batman Woods as the coach. He was a college hall of famer with Southern Cal and played with the Bucs. He was Hardy Nickerson and Derrick Brooks before they were! 
 

we had a UNC commit at RB, Larry Edwards, and USF commit Terrence “country” Royal at LB. 

ran into Ely and Tyrone Moss. (Rest in peace). He torched us for 200 plus yards. 
 

Yeah when I left, Wharton decided football wasn’t important anymore.

Looking at their record before 2002, am not sure they thought football was important then either.:rolleyes:

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      By Perspective · Posted

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

      I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.

      Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”

      Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
