WIAA's ruling on Bluebirds overturned
The Janesville Bluebirds hockey team’s undefeated status remains intact.
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletics Association had ruled that the joint Craig/Parker high school team would have to forfeit two of its games after a player appeared in a billboard advertisement and received a $25 discount from the advertiser last fall.
The Janesville School District appealed the ruling, and the WIAA today overturned the forfeitures, according to a district news release.
A Parker High School football game that had been declared a forfeit for the same reason also will remain a win, the WIAA ruled.
Some Craig High School boys cross-country results also were to be changed because of the billboard incident, but the WIAA hasn’t yet ruled on that appeal, according to the news release.
The Bluebirds were scheduled to play at home tonight against the East Side Lakers.
