: : : : : Anyone know the drama surrounding this team? I heard they did some sketchy business with adding random games to their schedule to boost their overall win percentage.
: : : : : Is this true? Is it within CIF rules or where's the oversight here?
: : : : They added a game to get to 500 win percentage. Nothing they did was illegal. Only part out of the ordinary is usually schedule is completed before season. The forfeits were all games scheduled ahead of season. Just the Muir game was added as both teams had an open game since league tournaments do not count on game total.
: : : The Lakeside Charter "game" was not on Max Preps until the last day of the season. Just an oversight right?
: : The Lakeside Charter game was actually on their original schedule that was posted online before the season started.
: And was taken off Max Preps during the season only to be added back the last day. After somebody had posted that Alemany was looking for 2 games to get to .500 the last week.
I'm talking about on school website and cif. Maxpreps schedules are often inaccurate because its not required and has not oversight. If it was on schools page and cif they likely had a contract and thus a forfeit if LC didn't want to play. What they did was smart and what any coach with a pulse would do. If they didn't try getting to 500 then the AD and staff would be idiots and would be at Alemany.
