WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 2009 NEWS-LEADER / FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA FHSAA restores cut sports for high schools BETH JONES News-Leader

High school schedules will not be reduced the upcoming school year. The Florida High School Ath- letic Association voted 15-0 July 15 to rescind amendments to a new SUBMITTED PHOTOS policy, which cut varsity games by Trey Burch, left, bats against Tallahassee in the state tournament for the 14-and-under Fernandina Beach Babe Ruth Allstars July 17-18. 20 percent and others by 40 per- Cole Kirkland, right, slides back into first base. cent through the 2010-11 school year. The policy, adopted to cut games and help districts cope with their economic woes, was shot down by the FHSAA board of directors to avoid a lawsuit filed by a group of parents in Jacksonville in June. The parents alleged the sched- ule cuts violate Title IX, the federal law requiring a balance of sports for boys and girls. The cost of the legal battle would have trickled down to the member schools of the FHSAA, which declined to pass on the expense of a challenge to its members. “There’s an old saying that says the juice is not worth the squeeze,” FHSAA executive director Roger Dearing said. The news was good for Fernan- dina Beach High School boys bas- ketball coach Matt Schreiber, who has already scheduled games with Bailey Weeks pitches against Tallahassee, right. The 14-and-under Allstars, above, Providence, “which is the best team include, front row from left, Ellis Bruchman, Austin Jones, Josh Didion, Mason probably in Northeast Florida,” he Mottayaw, Cole Kirkland, Mack Casey; back row from left, coaches Chuck Didion and said.
