VHSL APPEALS COMMITTEE STATEMENT

Statement by VHSL Executive Director Ken Tilley

As in every case that comes before the VHSL Executive Committee, the appeal by Ocean
Lakes High School was reviewed based upon its own merits in accordance with a thorough and
structured process. All facts presented were carefully considered by the appeals committee.
After deliberation, the committee arrived at a decision that it deemed fair and equitable under
the rules and procedures of the League. Those rules are designed to serve and protect the best
interests of all member schools and student participants.

It is unfortunate whenever there are adverse consequences such as in this case, but we are
confident that the Ocean Lakes administration, coaches, players and fans will respond in a way
that will reflect positively on their entire school community.
