So you don't care as long as it's not a "stud athlete".  Gotcha, thanks!

Re: Question for Manfred/Portage people?

So one of the salient points that is always brought up when it's a public-to-private transfer is what about that good private school kid who has soldiered along all those years only to have his/her spot taken by the transfer.  Where is the concern in this case?  Oh, that's right, it's okay since he...

Re: Question for Manfred/Portage people?

BS! Always "a lot more than spots" when it's public to public. Same story the kid from West A was pushing when he tried to transfer to Pine. Kid actually claimed he was bullied. Yea, the D1 caliber star athlete was bullied...

Re: Question for Manfred/Portage people?

Wait a second... so kid clearly transfers for athletic intent and not a single person cries foul here. I wonder what the reaction who'd be if he transferred to BG???

Re: What will President Trump do next???

Could we not make the case that this wasn't made political until the media, then Donald Trump more recently made it political?  The guy who started this whole thing is no longer employed.  You have some others that were still doing it, but really gaining no attention at all.  Trump brought attention...

Re: Gouse - 200 wins

Gouse is no doubt someone who should be celebrated for his accomplishments. He made Portage a football town, and no doubt had an impact on many young men's lives regardless of the 200 wins.

Re: CC school board says split out the private schools

Success based classification is a solution that works for both parties (private and public).  Unfortunately it doesn't gain a lot of traction bc many simply want to see the successful burn.
