Lakers forfeit Falcons game because of ineligible player.

Written Monday August 29th at 10:25 PM

The West Bloomfield Lakers forfeited their game with Groves on Friday night because they used an ineligible player.

According to Tom Markowski of State Champs, the player involved was a lifelong West Bloomfield resident whom transferred to West Bloomfield from Orchard Lake St. Marys.

According to MHSAA league rules when it comes to transfers the player must sit out one semester of athletics.

Lakers coach Ronald Bellamy said he was unaware of the player being ineligible.

With this forfeit this gives Groves a big win in it's quest to return to the playoffs for a second straight season. The Falcons have a big showdown with Oak Park on Friday. West Bloomfield plays at Oxford on Friday.

Thoughts:

Well this is a huge win for Groves over West Bloomfield via forfeit. The Falcons schedule though is still difficult as they have to play Oak Park this week and then have games against Adams, Harrison, Southfield Arts and Tech, and Saline.

The Lakers I believe they are fine but they have to play Oxford this week and still have games with Orion, Southfield Arts and Tech, Troy Athens, Stoney Creek, and Clarkston loom.

We'll see what happens.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
