LPD Tournament

What do the brackets look like? I mean does the 1-8 vs. 4-5 winner play the first game or the second on Wednesday?

How can you call a kid a disgrace over a game? Thats f'd up, do you really think that she said, hey im going to drop this class so we will have to forfeit all of our games? You cant be serious. That girl played hard for four years and its pretty easy to assume that she feels bad about what happend, but to call her a disgrace, thats horsechit. Maybe MECC should have notified PV, maybe Danielle should have notified PV but most kids dont even know elgibility and rules requirements in the first place. Maybe coaches in this area need to educate their players better for these types of things not to happen. When I played college sports, our first meeting was a two hour meeting concerning ncaa rules violations. Either way, Danielle Kilgore is not a disgrace, shes a good softball player that made a mistake.

I agree the mistake is on the PV AD and maby the coach I don't know the whole situation BUT if she droped a MECC class there is no way that the school did not know about it and if they did know about it and continued to alow her to play the blam (if there should be any) falls to them not the girl who in all liklyhood had no clue that she was messing up her elgability

I did not specifically refer to HER as a disgrace, but to the entire situation. It puts a big ugly scar on a program that was growing into one of the better programs in the LPD. I agree that Danielle has been an excellent athlete and she has represented PV well from the games that I saw. But you have to admit that it is very sad that this has happened. You are right about the rules education-more is needed for the high school students.

Its a sad situation, but its not life or death. Heck they can still win the lpd tourny and its a mute issue. I know they are behind the 8 ball playing Gate City, but they were struggling even with Danielle. I dont think its an ugly scar on pv, its a mistake. It happens all the time to be honest. Coach Wilson is the AD at norton, he made a mistake on a KY transfer during football season. Burton forfeited every game that guy played and limped into the playoffs at either 4-6 or 5-5 instead of 8-2ish. Its not the first time this has happend and it wont be the last, people shouldnt think anything less of PV for it. Paul Clendenon is a nice guy, he wouldnt cheat intentionally.

From my understanding there was an appeal of the situation heard this morning and PV has won the appeal. The season standings will stay as they are.

You may be right, many people may forget it. Paul is a great guy, i hate it for him, too. I hope they will make some noise in the tourney, and maybe that can help people forget it. I try to support all LPD teams,and I hope the state forgets. The rest of the state already can't stand us. Oh well, that's their problems and can stay that way!

I hope this is true. There's always alot of info on this type of thing that we dont know about.

That would be great for the PV program, but this will also tighten some reigns to prevent this from happening again (hopefully)!

I got the information from a head coach from one of the teams in the district (not saying which team) who was informed of the decision this morning.
