District 10 Votes Down 20 Year Player Rule
Meadville district representatives attended the PIAA District 10 meeting as the plan to amend the 19 year old player eligibility ceiling was rejected. Officials proposed Sharon and Farrell high schools rejoin league basketball with Erie and Mercer county schools in a new arrangement starting next year. H D Leberman said the plan would likely be accepted by the district committee. Sharon and Farrell had withdrawn from District 10 a year ago after WPIAL admittance requests were denied.
