Well here we go again one year later? same kind of situation, even though the Franklin kid transfer situation was even more ridiculous. I would love to see how many kids on Yorktown?s wrestling team wrestled and were enrolled in Yorktown Elementary growing up. I know for sure the wrestler?s ranked #1 and #2 in their weight classes DID NOT attend Yorktown until middle school, and both were heavily recruited by the best recruiter in the state, Troy Dulaney. You want facts: Here is one fact that can?t be disputed. When Yorktown attempts to recruit a kid, Troy Dulaney will approach the parent and tell them that he has a realtor on stand by that will help them secure a residence in Yorktown. He also tells them he has all kinds of connections to try and find the parent a job in the area. Now back to the Alexandria kid who allegedly moved to Yorktown for quote ACADEMIC REASONS. Now how does a kid who is making bad grades get ACCEPTED to such an ACADEMIC school like Yorktown? Does anyone really buy any of this? There was an article that I read last year after the Franklin kid fiasco, in which the SUPERINTENENT OF THE YORKTOWN SCHOOL CORPORATION stated how they have raised the bar for transfer students at Yorktown High School. I?m a little confused. So here we have a kid getting C and D?s and he is accepted at Yorktown?.hmmm. If you haven?t made the connection?Yes the Superintendent is Trent McCormick?s wife. The truly sad thing is this young man should be wrestling for Alexandria right now. He and his family bought into the BS that Dulaney was selling. It is truly unfortunate! This same scenario would have happened to Meska from Jay County last year, if he didn?t get back to Jay County quick enough after enrolling in Yorktown. Jay County and the head coach refused to sign off on Meska and he would have been ineligible too. I know for a fact that the Jay County Coach had to travel to the IHSAA and give a statement reference that attempted recruitment. Now let?s talk about irony. The ironic thing about last year?s recruitment of the Franklin kid is that the objective was to find someone to beat Faurote at the team regional. Guess what? It didn?t happen and the team w/ the right kind of coaching and ethics prevailed. So in the end...good triumphs over bad every time. The fact is this COACHING STAFF will do anything to secure a state championship. It's sad for the kids that are raised in Yorktown and went there since elementary. NO LOYALTY! And if I sound like a mad parent! I am! If the school board knew what this staff was doing.......I have heard that the powers to be at the State are sick of it!
