I believe Wise dealt with this issue a few years ago. Anyone remember how it played out?

This is going to be an interesting case.

If one looks on line “J.” on page 22 of the linked document on “Eligibility,” it is rather clear the buck stops with the superintendent of schools regarding legal transfers. It does not mention a school’s administration having a role.

However, if one looks at lines “H” and “I,” issues dealing with parental permission and physical fitness in order to participate, those lines specifically identify the role of a school’s principal.

It appears to me the responsible party related to approving or disapproving a transfer is the superintendent.

If this is true, this is not the responsibility of a school’s administration or coaching staff.

Again, it will be interesting to see what the ruling of the MPSSAA will be and the rationale they use in the response.

I know that they are appealing the forfeits. A pretty reliable source told me that in the appeal process, the MPSSAA could also change the penalties levied against FH by not only making them forfeit the victories, but also eliminate them from playoff eligibility. As it stands now they are eligible. Might want to just close the case and play on if the possibility exists of losing playoff eligibility. I was hoping someone in the know could clarify.

I don't see how they can penalize FH for games after the player has been removed. No precedent for that.

10 first half offensive points from a team that takes players from all areas counties, districts, even states against a weak team full of underclassmen is not impressive. Yes, kids should be able to goto school where they want, but there are rules to be legally in the Maryland playoffs

39 to 0. Without number 88. You sound like a liberal with a testosterone level under 200 points.. if you want to hear a bunch of idiots, all you have to do is come to this board.

I was told today at the game that if FH goes through with its appeal and loses that they could be eliminated from state playoffs. This doesn't make sense to me but stranger things have happened. Especially when dealing with the MPSSAA. If there is a possibility, just drop appeal and play on. If anybody can clarify, please do.

Great game, FH! I caught the second half. FH's defense looked unstoppable. Of course, they played great on offense, too! It's going to be an interesting playoff run. Especially, now that their record is only 1-8.

I'm looking forward to next week even more!

2-7

About 370 less than that.

Going to be fun!

Alco got their first only down on their last drive

Even though these announcers are way better than the prior guys it is tough to get past the repetition and constant nonsensical comments. If you listen you know what I mean, if you don't listen just save your brain cells.

Technical difficulties on the WTBO feed, apparently.

Allegany gave FH 2 points on a bad snap

12-0 FH at the half.

What an odd score for FH. Reminiscent of games many moons ago. Wish I could see what's happening.

Everytime FH plays there are complaints about the officials, seems to be a common theme is it all refs that do FH games are terrible or …….?

Penalties happen in every game and the offsides, motions, and false starts should always be called but the judgement calls like peel back blocks always seem to go against FH. I’m not sure how the crack back could even be seen when #2 cut back across the field in the middle of 8 different players. Hell I watched FH complete a 30 yard pass before the half and spike the ball with out the chains being set and the referee set the ball and let the spike happen. That’s terrible reffing in my opinion. I don’t think the chains were even set for the field goal attempt.
