Perhaps the story could have been substantially more informative as to the reasons for the FHSAA findings. What was the accusation? Two of the athletes have already left The Villages HS to attend another school. How this ruling impacts them is unclear from the story.

What I find irritating about Randy McDaniel's statement is his attribution of the accusations are driven by a "rival school's jealousy." McDaniel has now painted every other school in the district and elsewhere with the same brush of "jealousy." Name the school.

I am sure that many people who enjoyed last year's triumphant basketball team wondered how four players from Gainesville suddenly transferred to The Villages HS.

I have no idea whether the FHSAA is a joke or not but I do know that where I am from in Connecticut and where I coached for many years, the CIAC (Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference) does not make decisions like this one lightly.

The Daily Sun owes its readers more information than today's story contained.
