I heard the Pikeville athletic director and principal verified that they where not there representing the Pikeville school system to the officials at the KBA. They were supposedly told that if they played they would have to go as an AAU team. I think they have a transfer that enrolled Monday and hadn't played the required games so the school system told them that had to go as an AAU team if he played. Shows some character by the Pikeville school officials as they supposedly told the officials at the KBA what had happened. Hats off to the KBA for doing the right thing and for the school officials in Pikeville. Makes you wonder how many other teams are bending rules for middle school basketball, it's ashamed you put such an premium on winning at the middle school level.

This was evidently after the tournament started, what's so standup about that. They should have done the right thing before the 1st game, imo
