More Highlands Stuff

From the Harlan Daily Enterprise:

Bell County's loss Friday to Highlands in the semifinals of the Kentucky Class 3A playoffs might not have been a loss after all. But that doesn't mean that the Bobcats will get to play in Saturday's championship game. That is, unless a group of Bell County supporters gets its wish for an injunction to delay the 3A championship game.

Can't say that I blame them. Because of the performance of the player in question, Bell County will be sitting home Saturday instead of playing for a state title.

The more I think about this, the more questions I have:

1. What jurisdiction do the courts have over the policies of the KHSAA? In other words, how could a court issue an injunction on a decision of the KHSAA without providing any legal basis for issuing the injunction.
2. Why would Highlands play a player they knew could be ruled ineligible later in the season? Well, I know the answer to that question.
3. Should someone at Highlands take the fall for this fiasco? Mueller? AD? Who?
