Crosby Cheating Scandal


Recommended Posts

Don’t know all of the details, but ineligible kids played for Crosby during the 2nd half of district play. From what I understand, these kids did not attend Crosby HS and possibly already graduated from HS. Maybe someone else has more details on this cheating scandal?

From what I was told, two transfers were never cleared to be eligible. One from CE King, the other from Channelview. 

Have not heard anything in regards to kids not attending Crosby or have already graduated. 

I have a hard time claiming "cheating" here. They played ineligible players. If you want to call it cheating, so be it.

When a coach knowingly allows ineligible kids to play, yes I consider that cheating. He knows the rules of transfers needing to be cleared, yet played the kids anyway. From what I understand, these same kids did not play in the first round of district, play. If that is true, then this was a deliberate attempt to mislead other teams, which, IMO is cheating.

I get that. But whose to say this could have been a clerical error? He may have been told they were eligible. I do not know how Crosby handles their business in regards to eligibility. The coach may or may not have actually known.

But, the bottom line is it does fall back on the coach and the admins.

What’s done in the dark will come to light. Hate it for those seniors that worked hard all year to get to this point of disappointment. What a way to end your senior season, them kids going to remember this for a long time.

Been living in Crosby all my life and never seen a situation like this. 

i agree that all credit for success should go to the coaches. Likewise, when there is failure all the blame should go to the coaches too.

Grown men spreading rumors. The same kids played all year long and were eligible per UIL rules. Upping further scrutiny by the UIL one of the transfers paperwork has not been done correctly making him ineligible. Typically the UIL doesn’t review transfers late in the season to avoid this type of situation and the heartbreak it causes the kids. Apparently they are about to start. Coach Egans has coached in Crosby for 20+ years and has always followed protocol. Ruining his integrity now makes zero sense.

Thanks for the updated info and perspective. I guess this explains Coach Egan’s Nov 2023 UIL public reprimand. In most cases many of the transfers are not legitimate, but the unwritten rule seems to be “look the other way”. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Reprimanded for what exactly my first time hearing it.

Any clue how easy it is to get one of these reprimands?  They sure hand out a lot of them.  

Also, a coach can get a reprimand if he violates practice policies. 

Looking at the date of this reprimand, he could have violated practice policies by starting the season too soon, having practices on days not allowed or breaking the hours limit for the week.

Several things can cause a public reprimand.

As a Head Coach of a sport you should know the eligibility status of your players.  Grades and Waiver status fall into that category.  
if you have kids that have waivers pending or not started then they certainly don’t play varsity games.

As I said, this is inexcusable.   Shouldn’t have happened.

When a kid transfers to a school the coaches are supposed to start paperwork to see if they are eligible and know that if they play ineligible players they have to forfeit those wins. They all KNOW that. The fact that they played them and tried at the last minute to clear them looks like they got caught cheating and tried to clean up their mess. Bottom line it's the coach and AD's fault. I only feel bad for the other players on the team.

    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
