Good thing he rescued those 7 kids from Timber Creek. The Avalon community is a scary place. So poverty stricken over there. 

Leesbrug is an F rated school and one of the worst in all of Florida and the country.    These kids getting an opportunity at TFA can and will change their life for the better. Kudos to this guy for helping kids out of unfortunate circumstances no fault of their own. TFA is one of the top private schools in CFLA.    If every kid could leave Leesburg for a top rated private school I would applaud it 

do some orlando sentinel research.  the moffett guy brought 10-15 kids, tfa had over 30 transfers.  the kids started particpating in spring ball, but were not enrolled in tfa.  then they attended summer workouts and were not enrolled in tfa,  he was also the main catalyst at winter park, as ray said above.  he got them in trouble a couple times.  took 7 starters from timber creek 1 year, day before fall season started.  illegal addresses, no home at the address, just a mailbox, all from a 2nd coach on the winter park team who ownd a real estate business..... when questioned(fhsaa has relased this, its a simple search) the kids all said coach moffett told me to come here..... those 30 transfers dont even really go to tfa, they are enrolled in the school, but are housed in a portable and doing florida virtual school 2 days a week to keep up with being able to graduate(hearsay, i dont know it to be 100% true, know someone who was around the program last fall).

It is in cruel jest that some FHSAA investigator making six figures, driving a luxury company vehicle up to a trailer or public housing knocking on the door to tell some high school student that the punishment for trying to pull his family out of poverty is athletic ineligibility, essentially crushing his primary chance to escape poverty and change the trajectory of his family’s life for years to come.    you can disagree with what I’m saying, but please spare me any moral lecture about wanting to do right and what’s best for student athletes, especially ones in extreme need. 

So crazy to me. Some kid can live in extreme poverty, and is offered a way to completely change the dynamic of his family’s living situation for the better while at the same time enhancing his education, and increasing his access to a free college education.    And the response from people almost exclusively more well off than him and his family is, is NO!!!! You must stay in a failing school, in extreme poverty, and decrease the chances of college with the hopes of creating generational wealth!!!! ”But why sir?? Why can’t I help me and my family for decades to come?”    “Because peasant, the high school you are leaving might not win as many football games without you stuck in your vicious cycle!!!!!”
