FH appeal question.

Hard to blame a 16 year old kid. The parents are the ones who put this kid in this predicament. Showing support for a teammate who is being vilified for actions caused by his parents. I have no problem with. On the other hand, the Alco student section chanting "Where is Babo" while his teammates are kicking the crap out of you seemed a little stupid, especially knowing that you are probably playing FH again this week.

FH appeal question.

All this aside I am totally perplexed as to why any player or coach from FH wouldn't be furious over this player and his family submitting fraudulent paperwork thus altering an entire season even if it only means forfeiting the games. The reaction of waving a towel with his number or wearing stickers on a helmet seems like he's being celebrated or honored. Wouldn't that mean they aren't surprised, hurt, angry, disappointed, feeling cheated on almost? Did they know, all of them? Something just doesn't seem right here. Am I missing something? He could be the greatest kid in the world but he just deceived you and cost you in several ways so why mad at a caller, the BOE, the MPSSAA...shouldn't the anger be towards the perpetrator?????
Actions of the parents shouldn’t result in the kid being cast to the side by the guys he’s spent all year with. I kind of agree that the shirts and helmet decals are silly to do based on the details of the situation, but i just took it more as showing support for the kid than acting like they are the victims of some injustice from the BOE. This all just boils down to his parents being really ****ing stupid and making a really bad decision.

Hopefully in the future we either just send our kids to the schools their supposed to be in, or make the proper life adjustments for them to go somewhere else.

I agree...a total classless act to celebrate that they broke the rules

FH appeal question.

If the current penalty is to forfeit the games, that is the basis for the appeal.

It stands to reason the MPSSAA can’t add to the penalty just because it is being appealed. That would be crazy!

If a criminal is convicted of a crime and ultimately sentenced, he/she can appeal the conviction and sentence.

If the outcome of the appeal upholds the conviction and sentence, additional convictions and sentencing time would not be added to the initial penalty.

There is always the potential under certain conditions to retry a case.

If a school appeals forfeiture of games and is penalized more as a result, I could see this being fodder for legal action on the school system’s part.

There is certainly the potential the MPSSAA could rule in favor of FH as a result of the appeal.

One can argue all day long who knew of the situation as the season progressed; that does not really matter. However, if it is true and there is concrete evidence the fraudulent information was presented during the transfer process, that is not the responsibility of the school.

It will be interesting to learn of the outcome of the appeal and the rationale behind it.

FH appeal question.

The reason I ask is because if FH doesn't appeal then they are in the playoffs and the case is closed. If the appeal keeps the case open can they add on to FH penalties.
If the current penalty is to forfeit the games, that is the basis for the appeal.

Alco/FH

386 yards to 36. Defense allowing 1 first down. 39-0.

Allegany isn't just a weak team, they are a team of decent players with absolutely no value at coaching staff. Sorry. But that's the truth. This coaching staff is dog shit.
Yet somehow an Allegany person finds a way to discredit and downplay the team that just kicked their but. I think it's pretty obvious why Alco is where they are and where they have been for a very long time...Fort Hill derangement syndrome.

BRIAR WOODS. VS STONE BRIDGE ON NOW

Stone Bridge is the oddest team ive seen in a while. State championship level defense, barely varsity level offense.

New coach ditching their traditional Wing-T offense this year really cost them.
They were single wing under Thompson, but mixed in a lot of spread in recent years.

Starting QB from last year transferred and they graduated practically all their rushing and receiving production. They have had a continuous pipeline of talent for twenty years though, so by this point in the season I would have expected things to improve.

FH appeal question.

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.
