Let's put this one behind us.

It would be a colossal understatement to say that this was a bad year for the WIAA. As I pointed out earlier, they totally blew the situation regarding Archbishop Murphy's football team having to forfeit all of their games. Even more embarrassing was this situation the took place at the state track meet last weekend. The two most obvious reasons why this decision should be overturned is one, the paper work describing the penalty is full of errors and should therefore be invalid. The second, and most important one, is that the competitors had the common sense to see the erroneous judgement (long before the video confirmed it), and correct the matter themselves.

The WIAA certainly has made its share of mistakes in the past. On the whole, I think any objective observer would ascertain that the overall positives far outweigh the negatives. Hopefully this is simply just a bad year, and they can learn from their mistakes. Maybe we can all do that.
