Possibly not. without getting into a whole lot of detail; he is eligible and has the 10 day, but according to the ruling he was ALREADY (as of day one of school) eligible, therefore the staff is looking into possibilities for Friday. Should know more tomorrow. Regardless of when he takes the field its good news for next week and future games.

You have been misinformed. To be eligible you have to be eligible on the first day of school. That was not the case. There is room, however, to appeal to the KHSAA to be eligible if you make up the class work and become a senior sometime during the year. This is not often invoked because usually if a player is not eligible on the first day of school then they do not make up the work. In this case the player did and after being deemed ineligible by the KHSAA the case was appealed and he was deemed eligible on a hardship exemption. I'm not sure if the KHSAA would let him play this week, I've been told it will be next week. However, as the parent of a senior captain, I can assure you that he will not be in uniform against Breathitt County and will come off of the bench the remainder or the year.
