The first scholastic progress report is coming out in a week and a half. The minimum GPA to play in CIF Sports is a 2.0 academic grade and a 2.0 citizenship grade with no more than one F on the report card.
I sent out status reports with all the players on Thursday after the game. The players were to take them to all their teachers to give me an idea where they stand as far as their grades are concerned.
13 players are currently on the bubble or are currently ineligible. I will be talking to each and every one of those players and see if there is anymore work they can do to raise their grades.
On a side note, I will not go to teachers and have them change grades for our student athletes. I will support teachers and players in getting tutoring and seeing their teachers to get extra help during practice.
Make no mistake about it... If a player comes back as ineligible at the end of the grading period, I will cut them from the team. Period, the end. We try to teach our players to be men and act accordingly. It is their responsibility to fix what needs to be done.
Our priorities in life are: Faith in God, Family, School and then Football. If you can't take care of the first three, then you can't play football.
