Why did Jake Garcia leave Valdosta?

Garcia played only one game for the Wildcats before the GHSA ruled him ineligible, because he and his family hadn’t made a bona fide move.

This means that student must move with the entire parental unit or those they lived with at the former school.

However, Jake’s parents are thought to have got legally separated and moved across the country, in order make him eligible to play.

Reports state that his have parents had dissolved their marriage, with Jake’s father making the move to Georgia with him, but it didn’t fit requirements.

He appeared in one game for the Wildcats, before being deemed ineligible by the GHSA, and then surfaced at Loganville (Ga.) Grayson.

Justice for Jake 🤧#titletownhigh

Netflix: Viewers question Jake Garcia’s exit

Several Titletown High fans have strong opinions on the move Jake’s parents made, which is clear to see on social media.

One fan wrote: “For the record – Jake Garcia’s parents tried to pull a fast one on GHSA. They admitted that on ESPN.

“GHSA had to do something. “We separated. After the season, we will unseparate”.

Others are blaming his parents for why Jake was made ineligible.

A viewer said: “Rule #1 of high school sports… do whatever to stay eligible. Jake’s parents should have kept their mouth closed.

“This is literally their fault. #titletownhigh.”

However, some are blaming his coach. A fan wrote: “Coach Propst should’ve told everyone involved in the transfer of Jake Garcia to stay quiet and not do any interviews with anyone #TitletownHigh.”

Why was Jake Garcia eligible for Grayson?

Some fans are now confused at how Jake was eligible for Loganville Grayson, where he quickly became the team’s starting quarterback.

This is because he moved from a GA school – Valdosta – to another GA school, which was Grayson.

When he moved to Valdosta, he had only left purely to play football and for no other reason, making him ineligible.

However, if he had moved for his parents’ work, or it was a real permanent move, it is thought Jake would have been eligible.

i *STILL* need someone to explain to me why jake was ruled eligible at valdosta,
then ineligible at valdosta,
then eligble at loganville grayson when he moved up there.#TitletownHigh
