With transfers being more of a thing, will we ever identify in records a kid that scored points somewhere else? If we are okay taking Heath off the list like buckeyekid suggested, do we also take Parrott off? This would mean that Paxton is now only the 10th player in Willard history to score 1,000 for Willard.
Not talking to you, just quoting to continue the discussion. What I find humorous is when people get butt hurt when kids attend more than 1 High School.
My Dad literally attended 3 different High Schools back in the 1960's.
He didn't play basketball but for the sake of this discussion let's say he did and we will make up some point totals.
School 1 as a freshman and sophomore we will say he scored 999 points
School 2 as a junior we will say he scored 999 points
School 3 as a senior we will say he scored 999 points
Career Total of 2,997 points
And zero schools should list him as a 1,000 point career scorer?
He should be left out of any career record books because his parents had the audacity to move. The nerve. Career records are reserved for kids whose parents don't move.
So the common fan must track the life story and know the stats of every single player to have ever played the game of basketball to know their ACUTAL career totals?
A conversation in 2045 by two 15 year olds that attend Upper Sandusky High School
Billy: I know Jake Diebler led Upper Sandusky to a State Title in 2005, how many career points did he have?
Johnny: Upper Sandusky says he had 480 career points
Billy: So he wasn't really that good, 480 career points is average
Johnny: Yeah, grandpa saying he was really good is just bloviating
Billy: Yeah, your grandpa is full of it
Johnny: I agree, I'm not going to believe anything my grandpa says again
Billy: Next thing he'll say is Jake scored almost 2000 career points when it's really only 480
Johnny: Yeah, it looks like my grandpa is a "I walked to school uphill both ways" kind of grandpa. I have zero respect for my grandpa now.
Expecting Billy and Johnny in 2045 (who were born in 2030) to know the life story of every player that came before they were even born is insanity.
I sure hope Upper Sandusky lists career points for Jake Diebler as 1,862 and not 480.
