a. Recourse?
-According to Brenda White of the Archdiocese: the integrity of the school
leagues has been a 2 year process. The board that made the decision was made
up of directors and it was a unanimous decision for the move. All schools were
informed that they must return to their school’s geo-restricted leagues. The
move was to avoid league shopping and maintain uniformity. Lumen Christi will
play in the North Shore League.
