Tucker's girls thought they were in the quarters, and Grovetown and Bradwell are alive

Tucker's girls thought they were in the quarters, and Grovetown and  Bradwell are alive

 

          All of a sudden, teams that thought their seasons were over aren’t, and a team preparing for a quarterfinal game is out.

          The GHSA announced on Monday that Tucker’s girls are out of the GHSA Class 6A state tournament after an investigation uncovered the violation of by-law 170 on “recruiting and undue influence.”

          Thus, the 21-9 Tigers are having their postseason vacated, opening up a complex scenario.

          As per the GHSA:

          “• The Tucker at Harrison game originally scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 27 is hereby cancelled.

          • Grovetown, which lost to Tucker in the first round, will have the opportunity to play at Bradwell Institute (defeated by Tucker in the second round) on Wednesday, Feb. 28.

          • The winner of the Grovetown vs. Bradwell game will then play at Harrison on Thursday, March 1 in a quarterfinal round game with the winner advancing to the semifinals, to be played as scheduled at West Georgia College on March 3.

          • Game times in the above rescheduled games shall be made by the opposing schools.”

          The change has no impact on the 6A, although Houston County lost 42-28 to Bradwell in the first round.
