Bridge City ineligible player ???

[WO-S 89]

I just heard they might have to forfeit 5 district games.  Hearing district committee will vote tomorrow on it. Any truth to this.  

[Mr Leroy]

Hmmmm.  Interesting.  Will do some checking into it.

[demons95]

What player was supposedly ineligible?

[Mr Leroy]

What I was told is there is a player that was playing in the JV and Varsity games so he played way over the number of games allowed for a player in a season.

How'd did you get this information?

[Javelina]

Are we talking about actually playing in both games or playing in one game and being in uniform but not playing the other?  There is a big difference between the two.  It is common practice for a JV player to play in their game and be in uniform for the varsity game for maybe a pinch run situation but if the player never actually enters the game then it does not count against his number of games he can play.

Can't imagine Coach Landry letting this happen. He knows how Bridge City baseball is under a microscope.

Section 1220 of the UIL Baseball Plan

(2) Total Number of Games. No team or student shall compete in more than three invitational tournaments plus 17 baseball games in a season, including all games prior to the first playoff game. This shall include non-district and district games.

If any of this is true does anyone know which district games they will forfeit?

I’ve heard it is 3-5 games so I would think it would be the games in which he exceeded the limit. Wouldn’t be right to say he was on roster but didn’t participate that night so doesn’t count but he was available so should count. Never know how that is interpreted. 

[bulldog16]

Being available and actually getting in are 2 completely different situations.  Being available is the name being put on the line up card in the substitute column, but getting in is name being put in the line up as a substitute. 

[BayouB]

Well what’s the word???

[Mr Leroy]

*Disclaimer*

All 2nd hand and hearsay information that I have heard from several different people.  So it could be 100% true, or nothing to it at all.  Time will tell.

 

Rumor has it a kid was playing JV and was being moved up to the Varsity and being used as a courtesy/pinch runner.  Supposedly he played the last game he could legally play in a season against Silsbee JV a little while back so he would be ineligible beginning with the Silsbee varsity game that night.

Well no wonder why we lost ...... geeze 

[Cardinals1661]

Looks like the JV had 11 scheduled games before the varsity game against silsbee.  If he played in all 11 he would have needed to actually play in 7 games on varsity to make him ineligible at that point.  Just dressing out and being in the dug out does not count.  The player has to actually enter the game to count as a game.  If a jv tournament was rained out it then adds more games he can play in since he didn't play in 3 tournaments.

How many varsity games did the kid play in before district started?  I dont know the answer, just asking the question.

I heard it was someone actually from BC, but I couldn't believe that would be true.
