If that's true, then somebody (counselor, AD, principal) is not doing their job. This doesn't fall under a coach's job description although, some veteran coaches keep tabs on elgibility because of things like this.

What happened was a player on their team failed a semester of a class, and at the end of the year was 1/2 a credit short, and was told he'd only be elligible if he made up 6 1/2 credits and only made up 6. East Ridge was aware of this because on all stats given to the KHSAA, they said his number was of a different player and not the ineligible player.

Well I was hopeing to keep this a secret but, yes we are "offically" 0-9 right now on the season.

When they did the digging, it turns out there were 4 total players that were inelligable, and one more that had quit a fer weeks before. I know that a couple of those kids were known about beforehand. SOmbody needs to get their stuff together

Cause of using Travis Bartley. He nor any coach at ER knew he was illegible, but what happend happend crying and whying isnt going to give us our W's back. all though I think were keeping the Pike County Bowl Trophy.

I think there may have been a few who were ineligable, but only one of those players actaully "played". No one was aware he was not eligable, I guess whoevers responsibility it was just didn't look into it enough.

I would think it would be up to the AD and the school administration to keep up with who is eligible and who is not.

I disagree. A new coach coming into a new system must rely on counselors and other administrators to provide him with the proper info on potential players. A list of grades for ALL students is usually available a few days after the school year. I don't think the coach was hired until just before practices started. Sooooo, somebody dropped the ball on this one, and I don't think it was the coach. Now, if the head coach knowingly played inelgible players, he should be gone.

I agree with you, but if the coach did know the player was ineligible and played him I don't think he should be fired, he is doing a good job so far but I really think in the next 3-5 years East Ridge will be a very good team. But I wouldn't fire after this type of infraction.

I really feel for the kids on the team who worked hard to make the most of there season and have to forfeit they're hard faught wins to do someone at the school not doing they're job to the fullest. I feel for the ER football team atleast everyone should know what games they truely did win.

He is the leader of the program. If he knowingly cheats or breaks/ignores the rules he is not setting a good example for his players. I hope this is not the case. I think he will do a good job, also, if given the chance and positive support. ER's administration let him down, IMO.

To set the record stright, Coach Branham did not know that the player(s) were illeligible, we did not know til about 2-3 weeks ago and snice that day that he told us that we havent played the player any.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure glad that Coach Branham was not guilty of any infraction. As stated before, sounds like the administration let him down. Hang in there Bobby. It will get better.

I feel sorry for the kids that had made the grades.I don't know about fired, but something needs to be done to make sure it don't happen again.
