Excerpt from the article.
“Section 442 requires athletes to be a “resident of the attendance zone in which the participant school being attended is situated.”
End of excerpt.
Unfortunate for a great Grapevine team, program and community. But rules are rules and there is good reason for them.
In comparison, this illustrates and emphasizes how the Dallas ISD and their very different attendance policies provides advantages to schools within that district by allowing district wide (1M+ population) participation. The Grapevine situation would have been business as usual in Dallas. “Rules for thee, but not for me.” Manufactured success.
Grapevine head coach Jimmy Webster went on to say, “We refuse to compromise our commitment to the rules and the values of honesty and sportsmanship.”
Thank you Coach Webster for setting an example and standard for the DFW area. Now let’s see what other area schools are committed to. And if the UIL and State of Texas will ever hold all schools to ethical conduct in sports

Also, someone ‘turned them in’.
“The district was notified Tuesday evening by the UIL regarding an allegation of an ineligible player on the GHS baseball team.”

That’s why if you’re living with your girlfriend and her mom in the Grapevine district (to play baseball)
You don’t break up with her until AFTER the season is over
(Not saying that’s what happened)

Moves Colleyville Heritage down to div 2 since Denton Ryan gets in and is larger (to D1 with Birdland)(who names these towns)
(I believe) I’ve had to delete one post due to not being correct lol.

Supposedly it was “self reported”
You never know if that’s damage control after the fact or not (like your company letting you resign before you’re officially fired)
What a mess. Also shows the drawbacks of determining D1 vs D2 after the regular season, as something like this affects many teams instead of just 2 (GV and their 1st round playoff opponent). With playoffs set to start today (or sometime this week) suddenly several different teams will be facing different teams than they expected with little time to prepare for them.

But
I’d say Grapevine’s opponent as well as the remainder of D2 is happy about it haha
Aledo had to also change to preparing for Ryan who missed the playoffs if nothing changed (instead of CH) (good team)
So at least it reduced competition of everyone affected (I think)

No one will cry about Grapevine being out of it.
Solid, longstanding baseball tradition. State and national baseball powerhouse. Glad we beat them in 2017.
