No ruling from OHSAA on eligibility of Wayne players
The Ohio High School Athletic Association did not rule on the status of the eligibility of Wayne High School boys basketball players Xavier Jones and Isiah Boddie in its meeting with Warriors officials on Wednesday, March 10 at Columbus.
Assistant commissioner Bob Goldring indicated that a decision could be announced Thursday.
Wayne (20-2) is scheduled to play Cincinnati St. Xavier (12-10) in a Division I district final at 7 p.m. Saturday at UD Arena. Both Jones and Boddie did not play in Wayne’s 64-54 defeat of Xenia in this past Saturday’s sectional final.
Both players transferred into the Huber Heights School District last fall, Jones from Gary, Ind., and Boddie from Trotwood-Madison. After being initially cleared to play, their eligibility status just recently became an issue with the OHSAA.
Both played throughout the regular season. Jones, a 6-foot-3 guard, averages 11.2 points and was a second-team All-Greater Western Ohio Conference Central Division pick. Boddie, a 6-2 junior, averages 5.7 points and was honorable mention All-GWOC Central.
