OHSAA RULES COAL GROVE GAME A FORFEIT

JUST READ IN THE IRONTON TRIBUNE THAT THE OHSAA HAS OFFICIALLY DECLARED THE TRIMBLE COAL GROVE GAME A FORFEIT. THIS DROPS TRIMBLE FROM 7THIN REGION 23 TO 12TH ENTERING TONIGHT'S GAMES.

Sounds like someone within the administration had originally agreed to play the makeup date. So now the kids miss out on a game for the season and also prolly miss out on the playoffs as well. Hate it for the kids. The higher ups dropped the ball on this one.

According to the OHSAA bylaws i dont really see how they can do that! Not a whole lot of time to get things straightened out, but we'll have to see how the appeal goes. The following was taken directly from their website:

1.7) NO CONTEST
Any scheduled regular season football game which is not started due to unforeseen
circumstances, such as failure of a team to arrive, strikes, school closings, is a “No
Contest.” Games not played are not included in won-loss statistics.
