That is kind of funny in some ways. So NG decided to "honor" a Dudley program who obviously and blatantly ignored rules and got caught......as if somehow they were "done wrong" by the NCHSAA??? And that is called classy?
If the kids just felt bad for the players who had to suffer for the coaches' screw up, then ok I can see that. However if it was done in sympathy for the plight of Dudley's program, then I just don't get it. It was there OWN fault. No one forced them to break the rules, nor did anyone punish them without cause.
Every coach in NC knows that Juniors cannot 8 quarter. That has been the rule since the inception of 8 quartering players.
Even if he didn't play 1 second of the game, just dressing out an ineligible player breaks the rule and causes forfeiture. People should KNOW the rules. Not realizing that the speed limit is 55, doesn't mean you won't get a ticket for doing 75.
Our society needs to quit crying foul in support of someone who breaks the rules. If it is ok to break any rule then it is ok to break all rules. "what's wrong with letting a 19 year old play HS ball....he only missed the cutoff date by a month"? or "what's wrong with letting Jimmy play because of academic ineligibility, he only failed that math class by 2 points. They shold let that slide"
Gimme a break.
