Also, they need to reassign victories to the teams that lost. I.e. Helias should be 7-0 now, which helps, but then again it's a win over an 0-7 team now.
Holy Hat, what a mess.
We shall see.
The MSHSAA bureaucrats are weighing how to balance enforcing their own rules while avoiding political protest hoopla.

Where do you come up with this shit?
Get some sleep. It’s late. Gotta be sharp for Farmington tomorrow night.
I’d relish the opportunity to meet you. Your poetic anecdotes brighten everyone’s day here.
The talents of cyber psychoanalysis you consistently demonstrate continue to astound and amaze!

I’m sure you’re a real load of chuckles and merriment in the real world.
I thought you had to have results from playing in at least 5 regular season games to be eligible for district play??He’s a clown. The kind of guy that calls protests when police kill an unarmed Black man, “using the race card”, then claims it’s okay because some of the police officers were Black.
Anyway. Ritter’s not going to be banned from the post-season. At least, not by MSHSAA. There’s no precedent for not allowing them to play their remaining games, and every school automatically qualifies for District play.
The only reason Clayton’s season ended in 2003, when Jairus Byrd was ruled ineligible for them, was bc Ladue waited until the first week of the post-season to report them.
If Ritter DID “self-report”, it’s only because they realized that the same would’ve happened to them this year. They’d have steamrolled Principia (or another 8 seed), had the violation exposed, then forfeited the win, and ended their season. The Administration and Archdiocese might step in and forfeit Districts on their own, though.
Thanks for your concern. I’ll be fine. You should come too. I’m sure I’ll be able to spot you. You’ll be the guy hating his life, looking like he ate a cold shit sandwich, and wishing he had the opportunities the kids playing have.
Here's the rub - if their results are all -13 points, there's no way they can get to the 26 some odd district points. Also, when I looked last night at their opponents records to figure their points, it's a no contest like the game never happened ie: Helias's record is now 6-0. We'll see, but I'd be pleasantly shocked if they don't somehow make it into the tournament.You may be right, but I believe they do have results: 0-7 with each score being 0-13.
MSHSAA has already entered it.
I would drive a long way and pay good money to see that lolConsider yourself invited. I’m looking forward to putting a face on your anonymous, online message board bullshit. Please dress as your favorite drunken Ampipe Football character tonight.
Will know a lot if Coach Gregory shows up at the game in Illinois tonightMan, good question.

Excuse me!? What do you mean by AMPIPE COSTUME!?(Pssst...jokes on him, though. I don’t drink and I’ve never owned an Ampipe costume)
Aha!
But you’re using common sense by assuming there’s a pattern in enforcing the rules.
Remember, we’re talking about MSHSAA here.
Here's the problem, loyalty to a wrongdoing is still wrong. Speaking up about injustice is hard, but loyalty does not always determine right and wrong. There are children and significant others that stay in horrible relationships all the time because of a sense of "loyalty" to the person. Sadly, it is terrible that the coaches placed the students in a place of having to choose to be loyal or show integrity.You’re always a great source on this kind of thing, cards.
I was just thinking there HAD to be several kids that knew this wasn’t okay and were sick about it.
Tough position for a player divided between loyalty to his coaches and speaking up in this scene. Hard lesson
A lot of kids see coaches as a father figure and see them in rose-colored glasses as well. It is tough to see them as having faults...Agreed on all accounts. Your last sentence sums it up.
