Very true.

That's true. I guess this case is still undetermined so who knows what will happen between now and then, i think both teams need to keep their focus on the game saturday.

My apologies for that, I thought it was humor at the time, but it was not.

Obviously, everyone knows the tradition at Highlands, there state championship banners indicate that, however, this season will be marked with an *

You are correct, Highlands still has to play for a state championship, so I hope they still do have some fight in them. However, the tribe has spoken, Mitchell has been voted off the island.

I like the new state championship shirts... Highlands High School Football "Cheat to Win!"

....Bring in Judge Judy, either way he is still ineligable, and that's the bottom line.

So what's your stance on Highlands using an ineligable player? Cheating, ok with it, or what?

Ineligable players in the playoffs dont count for some reason.

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.

I as a Bell Co. fan wish Bell could play in the game, but I know its not possible and Highlands earned it, legal or not. However I think if they are allowed to play the title game how could Highlands be the champs, geeze I'm so confused right now my head is spinning.

My point exactly how can you qualify for the playoffs legally if you never won a district game. This has got to be one of the most interesting situations I have ever seen, for something like this to happen right now.

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.
