Appeal Approved! AHSAA Central Board restores White Plains? playoff eligibility, and the Wildcats can make their first berth since 1994 with a victory over Munford on Friday plus help.

I know I am one of the few, but I disagree completely with this decision. This sets a dangerous precedent.





I agree. I would say if a team forfeits a game and they are then playoff ineligible because of the forfeit then teams that forfeit games for ineligible players or any other reason should be grounds for playoff ineligibility.

Let me also say that I do not think it is fair that Wadley is likely going to get hit with playing Coosa in the first round because Coosa violated rules. I don't know the answer on that end, but I don't think it should disqualify them from the playoffs.

I get your justification, but I don't agree with the premise. When you play an ineligible player, you should lose those games and have to have a hard time making playoffs. Get that player eligible or take them out. Problem solved. However if you just up and decide to forfeit for whatever reason, that sets a dangerous precedent. Look at a team like Huffman. They haven't scored a single point all year, so what if they just said "ya know what, we're done." There would now be precedent. Because White Plains, I don't care what anyone says, did not have just cause.

I know you are a rational fan and have good takes and think your stuff out, but we are going to have to disagree on that portion of it.

I'm surprised. The AHSAA almost never reverses and usually goes out of its way on its reasoning for upholding a rule or ruling no matter how absurd it is.
