they went from bad to worse... one judge says the 4 players can play and their team wins, then another judge says they shouldnt have played so they give the losing team the win. this leaves all of the players on the winning team wondering how a judge can take their win from them and give it too another team.

Not what happened at all.
State Appeals judge said Circuit judge overstepped her authority... state has had cases before and have tossed them back to the WVSSAC because the courts don't mess with an organization created by the state (DoE, or whatever they call it there) which has voluntary membership and it's own rules, whuch it can break whenever and however it wants to.
(I've not seen the WV rulebook, but 1 argument was that the rule states that an ejected player is ineligible for the next regularly scheduled contest, and playoff games AREN'T RSCs... both coaches took the stand and said they had 10 RSCs this year, but they had played 13 games)

So, the kids status reverted to ineligible.
THEN the WVSSAC said SC used ineligible players against Brooke, and granted Brooke the win by forfeit.
If the SC coach had not played those 4 kids, and won, SC would still be in the finals.
