Had a ineligible player

How does this happen? Usually, ADs are all over this stuff before the season even starts.

It is an AD's worst nightmare. Story too vague to know for sure. They normally go through the transcripts pretty well, to make sure they have passed the correct number of classes the previous semester. The other possibility was maybe he exceeded the age requirement. That might be an easier thing to miss when making a master eligibility list.

Unfortunate for this team and puts them behind the 8 ball for seeding down the stretch. Interesting that the matchup this week with KW turns into a game of winless teams technically. Good luck as they prepare to right the ship and make a run through the BR after this tough matchup.

Rumor is it was the qb who transferred from spotswood he was playing for central still living near spotswood if thats the case they all knew they just got caught

Central will win at least 4 of the last 6, possibly all 6 or 5 of those 6, and they will get in the playoffs as likely the 7 or 8. Would be interesting if they are the 8 and Buckingham is the 1 and Central traveling to Buckingham in round 1. If Buckingham doesn't lose to Central Lunenberg (that game is soon) then they likely run the table and go 10 and 0 as they will be heavy favorites for their last 5 games after Lunenberg Central.

This hurts CW obviously by having to travel and being a lower seed, but it also hurts the likely 1 or 2 seed who will get a nice reward for their efforts in regular season, thus having to face Central Woodstock in round 1 this is assuming Central is the 7 or 8, but if they win out, they could be a better seed than 7 or 8

Not surprised, I live in this area but not a central fan. I heard the rumor of this kid coming to central last year around mid season

If the rumor about the QB transfer being the issue is true, I wonder if Barahona moves back to QB? He needs the ball in his hands more than just a few catches and jet sweeps from a WB/WR spot IMO. These are high school kids, so it remains to be seen how they react to what has to be a pretty big distraction for them with a dangerous KW team headed to town.

So from what I have put together, it looks like Barahona is moving back to QB.

I also heard Central is appealing the ruling because the Spotswood transfer's mom works in the Central school system which should help with their case. Also heard they actually live in Woodstock. Also no clue how much the Central staff was aware of the possible situation.

I would be curious to see what rules were broken. Kids play outside of the school zones they actually live in all the time even when they're not supposed to. Not saying that should be encouraged but Central is not the only school who does this, so I am curious as to how this came up and why it was handled this way.

Again, I don't know much. I wonder how their appeal will go and how the rest of their season plays out. They still have to play Madison, Clarke, and Strasburg so the their overall record could really plummet from here depending on how things go.
