Manassas Park D-1 transfer from PAUL could change Region 3B. I look for them to blow through Region B till the Finals
Manassas Park D-1 transfer
- Thread starter SHSsports2020
- Start date
Wow. Who's going to be able to stop them in that region? Armstrong maybe? Central?
Freeman had 39. In his previous appearance against Skyline he played maybe half the game and scored about 30.
Game was closer than what most people think.

So he just transferred in the last month (according to the newspaper article) - how does that work for high school sports?
Apparently he was technically enrolled at the school before the playoffs started so he was eligible...
Played 22 games for private school then transfer to public school for playoffs. Not sure if this is a good trend to begin.
I've just never heard of that before - not questioning the legality of it.
I always thought you had to sit out a semester before you transferred to a new school.
But I don't know the rules and was just curious - thanks for answering.
By the books it's legal...but all things that are legal aren't good.
It is his home school. I think that makes a difference. He could not go from a public school to another one. But if he just leaves a private school(for whatever reason), he has a right to attend school and participate, as long as he does not violate other rules, like the more than 22 regulation season game rule. And as long as he enrolls before regular season ends. I don't envision this becoming a trend.
Midseason private-to-public transfers happen occasionally but I think even public-to-public is legal if the player meets all the requirements, remember the situation a couple years ago where a player who played a full football season for Western Branch transferred to Oscar Smith (mainly for basketball) and was immediately eligible to suit up for the OS football team in the playoffs? I think the VHSL put an end to playoff transfers after that but it's still legal during the regular season.
Come on schoolboard. I've always respected your posts on here, but you are stretching it lol. I do believe the article said the team had to forfeit a game the kid played in because he went over the limit for a high school regular season. Something just don't feel right about allowing this to happen.

I announced the game they had to forfeit. I am aware. I even appreciate all the "10 day contract" and "trading deadline" jokes on twitter. I am just trying to be fair, since I don't know the whole situation.
