36. The galling this as a high school teacher

Sun Jan 5, 2020, 11:09 AM

Jan 2020

is knowing that if my school's football team suited up an ineligible player, even if that player played not one single down, would have to forfeit every single game of their season. In my district , we had a school ask the state if it would be OK for their JV to play a game on the varsity's behalf since due to a hurricane they had had 3 games in one week. They were told it was OK. Then the state changed its mind so they had to forfeit the game costing them a 2nd place playoff slot and making them take a 3rd place slot instead. Yet the Patriots can continually cheat and have little to know consequences. Just how do we tell high school atheletes that rules matter?
