BigRedBuster Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 How did Central end up doing at the City of Palms tourney in Florida? The games aren't listed on the NSAA site and I never have been able to find an article on it. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Never mind. If found it. They lost to Long Beach Polly by three in the quarter finals round. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah they actually competed with the top teams in the country, Central has gone next level while the rest of the state is lagging way behind. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well, the way I understand it is there will need to be some rules changes before many teams can do something like this. I think there is a rule about the maximum number of miles a team can travel to play a game. Omaha had to get a waver from the rule to go to this tournament. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 This is what happens when you go to open enrollments instead of "neighborhood" schools.......... Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 This is what happens when you go to open enrollments instead of "neighborhood" schools.......... Are you saying this is a bad thing? Or good thing? I'm being serious, because I'm on the fence. I just dont know what to think of the situation. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 This is what happens when you go to open enrollments instead of "neighborhood" schools.......... Yeah Central has become the hot high school in OPS. Practically every kid in the district lists Central as their first choice, they have to turn hundreds of kids away every year.

I think there is a rule about the maximum number of miles a team can travel to play a game. Omaha had to get a waver from the rule to go to this tournament. IIRC, the waiver was because they had to travel on the last day of the moratorium to get to the tournament. It didn't have anything to do with where the tournament was located. Quote Link to comment

High School recruiting gets out of control, plus you lose that "neighborhood" feel and contiguous pride........ Quote Link to comment

The moratorium was part of it. The big thing was the NSAA limits the number of tournaments a school can be in. It ties in with the number of games Nebraska high school teams can play. There was a bunch of political bs involved. When the South Sioux City girls were a machine they used to go to national tourneys in Chicago and California Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Do we have any players on our radar? Quote Link to comment

There was a bunch of political bs involved. When the South Sioux City girls were a machine they used to go to national tourneys in Chicago and California I believe the NSAA used to simply set the number of games and each tournament only counted as one game. I see they've changed that now to be 18 games plus two tournaments. However, I only see two tournaments on their schedule - the Metro Holiday and the City of Palms. Not disagreeing with you just don't know the details. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Found an article on Omaha.com The Nebraska School Activities Association board voted 8-0 on Thursday for a waiver of its Christmas moratorium rules to let Omaha Central’s boys basketball team play in the City of Palms Invitational in Fort Myers, Fla., from Dec. 18 to 22.The five-day moratorium begins on Dec. 22. Central has a 50-50 chance of playing that day and its preliminary travel plan has the Eagles returning home on the 23rd. It doesn't mention anything other than the moratorium but there could have been more behind-the-scenes. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 And of course Central gets upset tonight. Ending their 51 game winning streak against instate opponents. Quote Link to comment
