Petition: restore fairness to the LMS JV girls basketball team

From a reader:

The Luther Memorial School Girls JV Basketball (“LMSJV”) team plays in the middle school league offered by SGHS. On January 9th, St. Gertrude High School (“SGHS”) removed all of the team’s wins…The staff at SGHS admit that it was their “oversight” to put LMSJV into the 5th grade division. For the record, LMSJV has always been in that division as this is a 5th and 6th grade league and LMSJV has 4th graders. However, there is new staff at SGHS.They decided that ANY team, no exception that has 6th graders need to be in the 6th grade division. Of note, LMSJV is not the only team with 6th graders. Despite that, our girls were the only girls who were punished – for SGHS’ oversight.

SGHS had our roster information before the start of the season, including the ages of the girls. They still placed us in the 5th grade division which is where their mistake starts. Instead of realizing their mistake and making sure to correct for next year, they decided to take action this year during the season.
