Before we lay complete blame on the school, what about the student/athlete that actually failed? Shouldn't she know if she failed or not and not risk the team?

Yes.  And the coach should've known his/her players' grades as well.  Especially if it was the end of the grading period.

Will 5 district losses make them miss the playoffs?

Given that they are undefeated at this point, probably not.  They would fall to 3-5 in the standings with the worst case scenario putting them tied in 4th with WO-S.....that being Silsbee drops to 3-5 and has to forfeit both of their wins to the Lady Mustangs which would move WO-S up to 3-5.

Silsbee would still be favored to win their last 2 games which is not the case for WO-S.

The only bad part is instead of going in as the #1 seed and playing the #4 seed from another district, they'll go in as the #4 seed and play the #1 seed.

From what I have heard it’s sometimes a matter of when those grades are actually submitted.(sometimes they are late)

 

Grades shouldn't be able to be "submitted" late. What is in the teachers grade book at the deadline should be used. So an entire team has be punished because a teacher submitted her grades late? The administration on campus as well as that individual teacher should be punished for not doing their job, not the players. Why not take a snap shot of the grade book at the deadline rather than let a teacher click the submit button days after the deadline?

Oh I agree completely.  The fault is within the school district just not sure which area of the school district. It’s truly sad.

Unless she was told of her final grade on Friday, or may even a few days before, do you really expect students to walk around knowing their average in every class. Over a 6 week period, there is not much of a difference between a 72 and a 68. Do you really expect her to know her final grade unless she was told by the teacher already?

A teacher doesn't get her stuff in on time, costing the team 5 wins, and it is the parent of the players fault....

Yes and they should have known even if they were close and if I was a team mate I would be pretty mad at them.  However they are kids and unfortunately will try to get away with things even in cases like this.  That’s why the grades are or should be checked within the school.  Naturally that starts with the Coach but then goes down to the submitting of said grade if it is or isn’t there.  I don’t know that exact process so I am not going to say it is on either but it should be checked within the school to protect the team.

Yes.  And the coach should've known his/her players' grades as well.  Especially if it was the end of the grading period.

An eligibility report would have been ran shortly after the deadline, we can agree? If not the Coach could have printed it, we agree? IF the teacher had no submitted the grades when the report was ran, the failing grade would not have been there, agree? The Coach checks the list, girl's name is not there, and he moves on. 

If the cutoff was Friday, which I assume they are, Coach probably ran the report Friday, over the weekend, or Monday. That or he was given one. The girls name wouldn't be there because her grade that is failing is not submitted yet.... how is that on him?

There are probably a whole host of people that should've noticed this failing grade and notified whoever needed to know...but I'm thinking there must be more to this than we're being led to believe.  Was the player not given the grading report?  5 games worth is a long time between grades being submitted and the kid/parent/coaches finding out that the kid was failing.

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.

      The game will be live streamed for those that have Game Changer under the Chester team thread.  I believe the radio station out of Palestine will have radio broadcast.
