Who takes advantage of a supplemental year?

They filed an injunction in court to fight the 4 year and age rule and the KHSAA could not stop him from playing. This player was a D1 player that played at 19 years old and was an absolute difference maker in their season. So this isn't the first time things like this have happened. I just don't get how some programs (if they are cheating the system by encouraging hold backs and all that kind of stuff or recruiting/ pulling/ borrowing players from other counties that have two residences etc. or just moved because they got word they were wanted) and their fans can boast so loudly and publicly about how great their program is. Any time you put an all-star team of players from area counties together it will usually be better than the schools they got those kids from and the other opponents. That is why people debate public vs private etc. When a school can win their state championship with kids on their team that are living in an adjoining state do they really have a 'state' champion or just a well coached all-star travel team?  This is not a jab at BC or any one program. Just something to think about. It won't change anything but it's just my thoughts on how poorly the cheating is addressed in Kentucky. If I ever won a state championship I would want it by having the kids that I am supposed to have. Not by sneaking around and doing it the way some are in our state and I am sure in many states. When a QB from halfway across the country shows up because he is related to someone in the program and suddenly he is eligible etc. all rules are out the window. Or when the KHSAA doesn't want to fight the lawyer the family has due to finances etc. then what happens is politics and money rule the day. That's where we are for now.

The player you speak of tore his ACL first game of his Sr. season against Beechwood.  UL dropped his scholarship offer after the injury, and no one was interested from any other D1 schools.   He did win a court decision and was able to come back for another Sr. season and earned another scholarship to the University of Louisville with his play on the field.  This kids life was changed because of this decision.  My question to you is....In your eyes was this a bad decision?  With or without this person Boyle still would have won the State Championship that year.  

Since you brought it up.....What All Star Players did Boyle have in 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, 09, 10, and 2017 State Championships from any surrounding counties? 

I'd say if you have any proof of cheating going on at Boyle or any other school, I suggest you contact the KHSAA!
