  1. Why wasn’t this discovered sooner in the season??
    They played in 4 playoff games, NO EXCUSE>
    If it had been, maybe Northern H/S would have made it to the STATE FINALS & WON.

  2. 1. They wouldn’t have beat Crest
    2. Northern has basically been through the same thing with playing ineligible players so I don’t really think they can say anything.

  3. I understand why this was done but in the greater good, reality or the way things should have turned out Northern lost to a better team. It’s not like Southern played with a 21 yr old, a kid that wasn’t enrolled in the program or a kid “____ whatever fill in the blank”. This was a simple mistake by a coach on a player that should have been on the field if you the adults had crossed their “t’s” and dotted their “i’s”. No wishful thinking in this situation for Northern or anyone else in Southern’s path this year.
