An unconfirmed report out of CCS indicates that a number of Pinewood transfers have been ruled ineligible. Anyone out there got the accurate info?
Pinewood transfers
- Thread starter colhenrylives
- Start date
Nothing official here, just a thought. Pinewood scheduled 6 games in December and 15 in the second semester when transfers become eligible. Maybe CCS said nice try but they need to sit out a few more games.
If that is true, seems over reaching by section. You have a sit out period. Just because a team doens't play the right amount of games in your mind, you would then add to the transfer penalty.
In 2021-2022 season, they played six games prior to New Year's. In 2019-2020, they played eight. So this isn't out of the norm.
It sounds like a possibility. Mitty plays their first game of the new year tonight at SI in San Francisco at 5 pm.
Hopefully, the Monarch's two transfers will be eligible and Morgan Cheli returns from injury.

CCS is completely inconsistent in their enforcement of the transfer and "undue" influence rules. Currently decisions regarding eligibility are subjective and based on hearsay, Innuendo and interpretation. No player should have to sit out a year in high school!
I just watched the end of the game on NFHS. Pinewood upset Salesian, 67-62. The only transfer, Ava Uhrich, 5-11 F, played the entire game while I was watching the fourth quarter. She scored on three drives and one inside basket all from the right side of the basket. Pinewood also hit a couple of three pointers. Panthers are now 3-4 and the Pride slips to 12-2.
Well....it looks like we have our 3rd legit CCS open team now...Pinewood still has Oakland Tech, CN and CLet left on their regular season schedule. See how PW finishes with those games left.
As I said on an earlier thread, over the summer Doc was telling people how much he liked this year's squad. They have a good staff and a GREAT culture...Im thinking reports of PW's demise may have been premature.
I definitely agree this team will be stronger in the coming weeks. Worth noting I heard that Sophia Fidelus did not play for Salesian, however. Not sure why.
It's not a high bar for inclusion in the CCS Open tourney. Basically, it's Mitty and a collection of sacrificial lambs lined up for unfortunate trips to the hoops woodshed. The expected group below the Monarchs is particularly weak in 2023. And that includes Pinewood.

Pinewood shot 67% from the field (including 67% from three). That'll beat almost everyone. 22 pts 8 rb for Uhrich.
Agree they won't compete with Mitty, but otherwise, they'll occupy their usual place in/among the girls basketball nobility.

You nailed it. Nice call. Kudos to Coach Doc for going on the road and winning a huge game. It's a major eye opener for me.
