More Highlands Nonsense

Michael Bouldin, the attorney who represented Mitchell, said the school was put in an unwinable situation because to sit Mitchell for the entire season, as the association ordered, would have been in conflict with the court ruling that he was eligible to play.

"I think a good way to prevent all of this is for the KHSAA to adopt bylaws saying the organization will take no action against people who are following court orders," Bouldin said. "You basically have the KHSAA flexing their muscle against the courts, but it puts the coaches and athletic director in an impossible situation."

Highlands, as I understand it, was not required to play Mitchell by the injunction. The injunction simply made Mitchell eligible to play...but Highlands was not forced by the court to play Mitchell. That was their decision.

Also, if a court injunction now gives high schools free reign to play illegal players, imagine the shenanigans that will result. It was a Ft. Thomas judge that issued this bogus injunction in the first place. What do you think will happen down in Pikeville and Bell County?

Finally, all of this irrelevant. Mitchell should have never been allowed to suit up for Highlands in the first place. The school should have nipped this in the bud when he first asked to play.

No, I think it's just time for Mr. Bouldin, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Meuller and the parents of Ft. Thomas to grow up.
