The question is, why was this just now becoming an issue? Shouldn't folks involved know about this well before the season started and address this then instead of week 0 of this football season?

And I am speaking in more of the parents and JT knowing this, not the coaches.


Also, why the reports of him being injured as to why he missed the scrimmages and week 0 game? Was he actually practicing? From what I understood, he never suited up for any practices this season, or did he?

Just very confusing to me. It's pretty clear his age made him ineligible, so why the mystery and prolong of revealing this fact?

If he turns 20 this Sept. 15th, wouldn't he have been ineligible for this past year's UIL sanctioned activities, ie. football and track?

No. Only if he had turned 19 before Sept 1, 2010. He turned 19 on the 15th of last year, which made him eligible for all athletics last year but not this year.

How do we know this is the only athlete at WOS? :-\

To answer your question....I am pretty sure he is not the only athlete at WOS.  I have seen several other students at WOS that appear to be athletes.

I think I understand the question and will just advise it is not nice to throw stones, you never know how much glass is in your house.

I mean if I'm in his shoes, I would fill shame that it's being said I'm a 20 year old in High School. He is too old to play sports and wil be 21 going to college as a freshman. sounds like this is a private matter that is being discussed out open forum.

How is his eligibility a "private" matter?

Thomas was the first player mentioned in the DCTF preview of WOS. We also had him in our previews of WOS as being a vital part of this year's Mustang team.

Will this have any effect on his offer from Utah??
[/quote]


It shouldn't. It's my understanding that Thomas will try to graduate early so that he can enroll in the spring at Utah.

I agree. It would seem to me to be a liability issue for the WO-S district. Not good mixing 20 year olds with 14-15 year olds.
