From the garden of foreigners!
You have already been educated on this subject. The foreign exchange program gives exchange students a variety of places to pick from. Wherever they want to be. It will be like football, I’ll just see what’s being said at the end of the season.
100% correct, it’s absolutely ridiculous. Then people want to talk about other kids that move into other schools. Irion County is the same way. They have picked 2 foreign exchange students as well that are tall and very deadly on the basketball court as well.
I am very educated on it as my family did it for 6 years I was part of the process!!! And your statement of you have no say in it is completely false!!! We knew everything about them and got to pick the ones we wanted. We knew family. Background talents sports and anything we wanted...From the garden of foreigners!
Bingo
On the flip side, to think that all big school players will dominate in 6 man is just as absurd. We had a kid on my HS team that moved from 5A Abilene High (biggest there was back then) and was a 2nd string rotational player on defense (LB) that had a very hard time in 6 man. The conditioning nearly killed him during 2-a-days, back when we actually had them. He did end up being a 1 way starter for us but didn’t even receive any district or local team awards. He was solid but definitely didn’t come in an dominate. I will admit times have changed as far as skill levels but I can say from personal experience that it’s not a given that just because a kid played at the largest classification (regularly at that) that they will come into the 6 man world and just run roughshod over everyone else.

Wylies jv wouldn’t beat a 1a team in the top 30. It was bad. Maybe other big schools jvs are different.
Dang Newb, sounds like you have a little disdain for Rigdon or at least for him being mentioned with the best in the state. Having roamed on football fields from 1A to 6A and seeing top athletes play at field level, Rigdon can play at any level and be a serious contributor. There are football players and then there are athletes and you can see the difference on the field. Rigdon is an athlete that can mold to the sport he is playing and play at the top level. The Cream always rises to the top.
My disdain is not for Rigdon, but there may be a little growing animosity for you guys who overrate him and completely ignore everything I've typed in order twist my words into something they are not. Not a single time in this entire thread have I even suggested Rigdon couldn't play at the 6A level. I have, in fact, said exactly the opposite. I will say it again so you completely understand it:
I don’t understand.
Newb, you do have disdain for Six-man football in general, Rigdon for being included as one of the best in Texas (11-man with tip of the cap to 6man), and for the fact your athlete may not get enough attention because he plays with "D1 caliber players at a private school in a 6A Hotbed". of
I’m sorry you’re illiterate. It’s never too late to improve your reading comprehension skills. Can I help you find resources?
Please elaborate to help my reading comprehension skills Six-man hater.
It's pathetic that some adults have to refer to someone as a hater if they disagree on certain topics. Someone you don't know and you somehow have the authority to call them out?? I believe you have already lost the argument when you have to resort that tactic. Just agree to disagree and leave it like that.
