So the way I read the rule, Highlands shouldn't be playing in the championship game. Because Bell won the semi game due to forfeit. The only way it counts in the state game is after it is played and then the ruling wouldn't apply. I understand the ruling and thats apparently how its going to go. But let me be the first to say this an utter crock. So now it's ok to have illegal transfers as long as you dont get caught until the playoffs start.

True I see your point, but if they knew that nothing could be done once the state playoffs began then how could you not pursue this quicker. Since they waited this long the point is almost mute. Either way Highlands has a great team and I take nothing away from them, I just wonder how they would feel if they were on the other side of the situation.

In that case let the ineligable transfers begin. If this is the case then the law is absurd, no offense to Highlands or their fans' but can you imagine the stink if East Jessamine, Cov. Cath, or Bell had beat them and then found out they used an ineligable player. Either way this might be the first time in football history that a team wins a state championship with only one win, and no district wins, which wouldn't qualify them for the playoffs. Well looks like the KHSAA really didn't do themselves any favors with this one.

I wish all this wasn't true to the young man and Highlands as a team. But if in fact he is ineligable and they have to forfeit all the other games how can you still be allowed to play for the state championship, unless of course you had to forfeit that game too. So Highlands could be 1-11 or 12 and still be the state champions, that a bunch of crock. I dont know if I fully understand the situation that way, but it would be absolutely ridiculous. Taking nothing away from Highlands but if you have to forfeit all games then there's no way you should be able to win a state championship. I know this wasn't seen in the future, but if you let someone play with someone ineligable all season and then tell them at the state championship, what kind of message does that send. Either way I dont blame Highlands' all that much, I think it was lousy management by the KHSAA.
