Houston Wheatley Disqualified!

Just heard from my son as he got home from school. Wheatley was disqualified for using an ineligible player. Waltrip (whom Wheatley beat last week) will take their place.
It is very unfortunate for all concerned. The kids at Wheatley that practiced all week and had the rug yanked out from under them, The Kids at Waltrip that thought their season was over, and haven't practiced til today, and to us here in Friendswood that go into a playoff game with a heavy advantage that, though not of our doing, just feels wrong. Even if we win, it will feel like kissing your sister.
In any case though, you have to enforce the rules. Even if it causes some strange circumstances.

That happened back in 99' or so--to someone in the Semis!  :o  Bad deal all around. Whoever the team was that got recalled up could only field about 2/3 rds of their team or whatever on short notice...and got hammered in the state finals... anyone remember?

We face the giants most every week in our district. PS - Waltrip did practice this week because Wheatley was appealing and Waltrip knew it. Disadvantage for FW, but should beat them pretty easily even so.

That's not true according to the Chronicle.  It says that Wheatley self-repoted, and that Waltrip had already put away its equipment and had to re-issue it yesterday.  Anyway, it'll be Mustangs by a lot!!!!

A trip to the 3rd round doesn't get any easier than this!  Well, I guess Waltrip could forfeit... nah, they won't.

Yeah, if I were them I wouldn't be bragging about it if Friendswood wins.  It's a shame they didn't get a chance to view film or prepare a game plan.  They had already turned in all their gear and everything and many players apparently went or are going out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday.
