For some of the schools in Richland County such as Spring Valley and Richland Northeast, there are zones designated as "choice" areas, where a child is zoned to a certain school, but is not prohibited from attending the other. In this case, bussing to and from school is not provided to those who choose the school they are not zoned for. Probably 3 or 4 of the players on Spring Valley had the choice of Richland Northeast, but chose Spring Valley either for academic or athletic reasons.
