Sorry Hammer but this post is way off. First of all, as has already been pointed our Kirtland does not accept open enrollment players and is winning state titles with a completely homegrown program.
But the IVC isn't just a DV league. It's basically a DV-DVII league with the exception of Indian Valley and Claymont. Well let's look at last year's state champions in those divisions. They were Kirtland (DV), Anna (DVI) and Marion Local (DVII). None of those teams are getting transfers. They are all homegrown programs. Go through the DV-DVII champions over the years and you are seeing Kirtland, Marion Local, Coldwater, Minster, Wheelersburg, Fort Recovery, McComb, etc. These are homegrown programs. There are a few years CCC or JFK won but for the most part the teams that are winning aren't getting move ins.
But let's go even further. Who were the best two teams in the IVC this year? Ridgewood and Garaway. Well, correct me if I am wrong but didn't both of their QBs start somewhere else? Didn't Newsome go to Garaway from Dover because he couldn't win the job at Dover? Doesn't Garaway have a ton of transfers and a very high competitive balance? Please note, I'm not bashing Garaway. They've done nothing wrong other than make their program attractive but let's not act like the IVC schools are at a transfer disadvantage..
The IVC is a good league. The league has won state titles in basketball, baseball, softball, golf and other sports. But for some reason the league can't crack the code in football. I don't know the reason why but it is amazing that nobody in the league can get it done.
