The Forfeit that you are talking about was a joke. Ashland didn't seem to care that East Carter and West Carter's freshman teams had a total of eight players that were ineligible to play in the consolation game. However, if this game would have been canceled Ashland would have lost gate money.
So, Rose Hill made a mistake, just as East and West Carter did. Why not reschedule the game?
Ashland was ask to reschedule the game, but was affraid too. The same group of 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th graders beat Ashlands freshman team by 25 and 27 points last year with Bonner playing. We all know that Ashland would not have been cutting down the net if the game would have been rescheduled.
Even Francis thought this game should have been played at a later date.
