Comments on: St. Francis softball request to go D-I denied twice https://www.hawaiiprepworld.com/featured/st-francis-softball-request-to-go-d-i-denied-twice/ The source for Hawaii's high school sports Mon, 25 Mar 2019 14:19:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Wainakea https://www.hawaiiprepworld.com/featured/st-francis-softball-request-to-go-d-i-denied-twice/comment-page-1/#comment-122153 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 14:19:32 +0000 http://www.hawaiiprepworld.com/?p=105195#comment-122153 From how the school is closing down, no one should be surprised as to how the administration has handled matters. Financial struggles by building a gym, forfeiting a perfect season due to an ineligible player, issues with moving up to D-I…reminds me of the former coach at Michigan State “The kids are playing their tails off, and the adults are screwing it up”

I bet he didn’t do the proper paperwork to get St. Francis moved up when it should have been done last year. Don’t forget that Sacred Hearts is in ILH D1. There’s absolutely no way Sacred Hearts should get clearance ahead of St. Francis for softball, but it happened. Why? Because Sacred Hearts got their paperwork done and on time last year. St. Francis did not. End of story.

Especially since the info from the petition suggested they were competitive with Div I schools last season and would be this season. Timing I guess.

Now they can focus on winning the Div II state tournament and go out as repeat champs.

What does that mean, ““We consulted people who we thought had decision-making power”??
