Congrats to the team Champions!
Morenci, Show Low, Mtn View Marana & Corona. Great job on the mat!
I think we need to put the whole “Transfer” thing to rest. Look it’s within the rules! (& all the teams have them) I’m just speaking about D1 & D2 because I’m not as familiar with D3 & D4. We know of those that went to Corona, SS has some, Mtn View Marana has some & Queen Creek has some. Again I have absolutely no problem with this!! To say some teams do this and others don’t is garbage. I guarantee you every one of us would have gladly taken the Seton transfers at our school if we could have!
Parents have the right to do what is best for their children when it comes to school. No one talks about the schools/Coaches that have lost transfers. A few years back Coach Martinez (Corona) lost the Cartegena brothers & Bridger Barker. (I can’t remember the others) Those parents did what they thought was best. So when it works in Corona’s favor no one remembers that. Same with Mtn View (Mesa) they got two transfers in 2014 & 1 more in 2015. (3 total) Those kids gelled with the rest of the team. Mtn View lost out on 4 kids (One moved to Canada) all state placers this year for other AZ teams. (132 – 3rd Place, 138 – 3rd Place HWT – 1st Place) Ironwood Ridge lost two studs that won it with different schools. It happens. Parents have that right.
That being said I believe these schools didn’t win because of transfers. (They helped of course) They won because they had the other pieces in place when transfers were added in. They Gelled together. (Yes Corona Mommas you were right) It doesn’t always work out. We’ve seen that. Corona, SS, Mtn View Marana & QC’s teams also seemed to be wrestling as a team with a purpose. (Something bigger)
