Central's New Transfer

I have heard that if the player is living with his parents in BISD, he will be able to play.  IF he is living with a legal guardian, then that legal guardian will have had to be his legal guardian ( court documented) for one calendar year before he is eligible.

There is one other way that a student can live with a guardian and not have to sit out a year of Varsity in UIL . An international student can apply for a Parent Residence Waiver. Everyone is just reading the basic rules of eligibility...need to dig deeper :)

If they applied for a waiver with UIL, they would get a hearing for eligibility. Depending on where they are from in Nigeria, or even why they moved but their parents did not. Exchange students are eligible. It may be a longshot, but considering Boko Haram in the north they could still be ruled eligible.

I think exchange students get to play for one year in the US.

Yes, but as winwin says there is a waiver. If they can get a hearing to explain the situation then who knows. I used the exchange student just because that was the only case I could think of where international students were eligible. I think they should be ruled eligible because they are moving halfway across the world to an area that has many Nigerian Americans and they are giving a lot up just to come here. I think I read earlier they were from Nigeria.

Correct. They are from Nigeria.

RcsSports:

Beaumont Central HS fans have a big reason to smile!  BIG as in 7-footer type of big.  Chris Yannick Sodom stands 7'2, in the eleventh grade, and is originally from Nigeria.  It appears, the Jaguars have landed a big fish into their program, and he is currently enrolled at the school.  If all things go as hoped, Central could nudge in front of Yates, Bush, or Elkins as the Pre Season favorite to win Region III - 5A.   I can hardly wait to get a look at Sodom when Central takes the floor October 3-4th at the Super 16 Extravaganza.  By the way, the schedule has been updated on the FREE Rcs Sports App (you may download from the App Store on your cell).

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
