'No news" in regards to Wildcats setter Tyler Christman
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Mount Sentinel principal and Wildcats head coach Glen Campbell told The Nelson Daily there has been no news from B.C. School Sports regarding his starting setter, Myles Christman, deemed ineligible by the provincial body.
“(There’s) no news in regards to Myles circumstance to report in terms of anything positive,” Campbell said.
B.C. School Sports Eligibility Officer Don Wallace ruled Christman ineligible from playing high school volleyball for Mount Sentinel.
Christman, in Grade 11, had moved the Mount Sentinel last season to play volleyball after his school in Grand Forks did not have a team.
He was ruled ineligible from post season but play during the regular campaign in Grade 10 for Mount Sentinel.
This season the coaching staff thought if Christman moved to attend Mount Sentinel full time the player would be able to compete. There is good reason why Campbell and Christman thought he would be allowed to play.
This is identical situtation his older brother Tyler went through in 2007 — less the ineligibility.
Grand Forks didn’t have a senior boy’s volleyball program. So Tyler Christman attended Mount Sentinel to play for the Wildcats.
In 2007 there was no eligibility problem.
