re: St. Michael loses appeal...Salmen back in 4-A girls tournament.....

Henderson ruled that Triggs was ineligible to play at the Houma school due to her family’s violation of an association rule that prohibits student-athletes from returning to their original residence within two years of establishing resident eligibility outside of their original attendance zone.

Henderson originally ruled Triggs eligible following an eligibility investigation that was requested by Vandebilt 27 months ago and concluded on Dec. 7, 2010.

Vandebilt sought a second eligibility investigation on Triggs during the playoffs after questions arose about whether her home residence was still in Houma or had reverted to Thibodaux.
