I can't speak to what I do not know about and I am not going to make assumptions on what CHS did or didn't do. CHS has to defend themselves and/or live with the penalties.
However, I am a parent of a kid who was a back-up the past 4 years, and I can tell you what I do know.
The heart and soul of this team were not all-stars but rather the lunch-pail type kids that practiced hard and played hard. I know you all don't have my perspective, but you just need to look at the scholarship offers to know that these weren't highly recruited athletes.
The highest recruited guys (Currently there is a lineman and a receiver) are but 2 and they weren't around during the 2017 alleged time frame. The guys from the past 4 years were not your typical all-stars.
I feel for the kids who worked hard, overcame obstacles, and went out champions only to have their accomplishments smeared. I have told my son that I don't care what LHSAA, the media or random internet folks say. He and his team are champions.

Exactly. These kids know how they won and it wasn’t from cheating. They will always be recognized as state champions by those that know. The 2019 team that lost in the championship game was one of the best teams this state has ever seen, they destroyed good opponents and fought the hard games to win against the very best like STM out of Lafayette. The work ethic, desire, selfless team work they demonstrated will be with them the rest of their lives. There was no superstar, just a TEAM of average hard working kids that put it all together on the field. With not a single player that was recruited. That can never be taken from them.
