I don't have any idea how this was handled by Northwestern, the Rock Hill School District or the SCHSL. I'm not going say that anybody played a trump card or that anybody called in a favor. Let's just look at the facts:
1. Discoveries asked the school district for permission to use the field(s). 2. If the punishment was upheld, some of the best players in the STATE (not just NW, RH & SP) would not be playing this year.
The final decision was correct, nobody got the electric chair for J-walking.
As for the Gilbert girls, they may have gotten a raw deal.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
