Just to keep fans up to date...

Fort Hill has not had their appeal heard with the MPSSAA yet at this time. There was not enough time today (Monday) to make any decision before the playoff match ups are to be announced by 4:30. So Fort Hill will accept their 2-7 forfeit record in regards to playoff status and seeding.

Fort Hill has 30 days to appeal the regular season wins they forfeited. If they would win that case, their wins would be restored for the state record books. But it has no bearing on the current playoff seedings. FH will likely wait until their season is over before setting up the appeal. If by chance FH would win the state championship --- the rings will bear 12-2. Whatever.

Whoever filed the initial "anonymous" tip wasn't cunning enough to wait until this week. Had this all went down right now, the FH season would be over. No postseason for the Sentinels.

Interesting article on WV playoffs from Metro News. This is a copy & paste from the article discussing Spring Mills appeal to get their forfeit wins back for an ineligible player.

“We strongly believe the WVSSAC’s decision conflicts with the federal McKinney-Vento Act. This act mandates that Berkeley County Schools must immediately enroll all students experiencing housing insecurity and eliminate any barriers to their participation in extracurricular activities.”

Sounds like that uneducated Jacka$$ from Riverdale Baptist 🤔 😳
Wonder what FH did to his team. Maybe he is an alum of one of the cupcake schools the Sentinels used to obliterate. The world may never know!
