The court not only reinstated the students\u2019 eligibility but also made clear that OSSAA acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner when it stripped them of the chance to compete. These kids followed every rule, yet were punished by an organization that ignored its own guidance. The judge\u2019s decision affirms what we have said all along \u2014 our students did nothing wrong, and fairness must prevail. This outcome is bigger than basketball; it restores accountability and sends a message to every Oklahoma family that their children deserve opportunity, not obstacles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The OSSAA Board originally said the players were not eligible to play after they transferred to Glencoe High School.
