Calvin ridley who is verbally committed to alabama and is ranked #6 nationally by espn and rivals. Com is ineligible after monarchs 3rd game vs piper September 19th ridley who is 6'1 175 and caught 41 catches for 1,131 yards was the team bread and butter to another playoff berth and possibly contending for a title now with this lost how will this effect them going foward in the year??

Why is he ineligible?

[DILLARD_HIGH_PANTHERS]

Because of his age I forgot to meantion that after there 3rd game vs piper he would be 19 years old and 9 months and the state rule is if your over that age and months u can't play now if monarch tried to keep that on the hush hush and let's say they went deep into the playoffs alll those games would have been script.

[STARaiders2014]

Wow thats a big blow to them....that sucks

[DILLARD_HIGH_PANTHERS]

I kno rite

[Greg Johnson]

Not true. The rule states that if you reach 19 years, 9 months while the current sport you are participating is in season, you may finish out the season in that sport. He'll get to finish out the entire season. He would be intelligible for any sport after football however (i.e. Basketball, Track & Field)

Not true look it up.! Perfect ex who it has happened to.... kelvin Benjamin rookie of da Carolina panthers he turned 19 years old and 9 months at the end of end of his Sr year and couldn't participate in the last 2 games of that year including the playoffs after ridleys 3rd game he cannot play he and the school said it

[Greg Johnson]

Misread rule...if they were already in the playoffs and he turned 19, 9 he would of been eligible for the remainder of the playoffs. Unfortunate.

[STARaiders2014]

Very unfortunate.....Monarch couldve really used him down the stretch

[BrowardHandicapper]

Tough one for Monarch.  This might have been their year to take down Deerfield.....
